Sculpture Garden

The Sculpture Garden at the Kemp Center for the Arts features ten outdoor sculptural pieces juried for 12 months of exhibition starting in May each year.  Artists are accepted from across North America, offering an international arts experience with small town charm. In addition, we have 11 permanent works on display throughout the year. 
 
Artwork is displayed in our peaceful downtown garden setting, open to the public free of charge.
