The sale and show is sponsored by the City of Little Rock and the National Sculptors Guild. Proceeds from the sale of artwork will fund upgrades in Riverfront Park and the River Market.
Little Rock's premiere sculpture garden is made possible through the support of the Vogel Schwartz Foundation and is home to artwork acquired annually from proceeds of the Sculpture at the River Market show held each October.
The sculpture garden features natural terraces and walkways designed by City of Little Rock's Leland Couch, Mark Webre and John Kinkade of the National Sculptors' Guild.
The design creates a more intimate space to view smaller works within the Riverfront Park and is ideal for hosting receptions, as well as allowing visitors to enjoy the sculptures in solitude.
This dynamic sculpture garden is located north of the Peabody Hotel.
