"Out in the Open: Outdoor Sculpture Competition and Exhibition," is one of the sculptures scattered throughout the museum grounds.
In 1997, the William King Regional Arts Center, now the William King Museum of Art, celebrated the first in a series of outdoor sculpture competitions highlighting the creative diversity of sculptors living and working in the Southeast.
Through a series of these juried exhibitions, WKMA has collected a number of sculptures that have been permanently installed on the museum grounds, as well as three temporary installations by the winners of their most recent sculpture competition.
A walk through the museum's sculpture garden, a green hillside dotted with extraordinary contemporary art, is the perfect way to spend an afternoon. Bring a blanket, a book, a pet and maybe even a picnic, choose your favorite sculpture, and spend some time relaxing with art.
