The Art on the Green sculpture garden is an oasis in downtown Wichita Falls, adding year-round art to the beautiful grounds of the Kemp Center for the Arts.
Art on the Green sculpture garden, established in memory of Minnie Rae Wood, contains eight permanent sculptures and ten sculptures that are "invited" to spend a year on our grounds. Changed out each May under the skillful hand of Joe Ed Barrington of Throckmorton, Texas, the invitational sculpture exhibit brings renewed vitality and interest to our grounds, and the opportunity for our community to enjoy sculpture from a wide variety of artists and cultures.
The 2010 / 2011exhibit was curated by Sherry Owens, a native Texan who lives and works in Dallas, Texas. Of the ten sculptors chosen by Ms. Owens to be featured this year, eight are from Texas, one is from New Mexico, and one is from Louisiana.
Art on the Green sculpture garden is free and open to the public during normal Kemp Center hours: Monday - Friday, 9am - 5pm and on Saturday, 10am - 4pm.
Following are the sculptures selected for the 2010 / 2011 Invitational exhibit, which will be on view through mid-May, 2010.
