We provide meals (food restrictions accommodated) and linens, plus a visiting artist presentation and an optional residents' Show & Tell each session.

Founding director and sculptor, Melanie VanHouten, established the 501(c)3 nonprofit Josephine Sculpture Park (JSP) in 2009 on land that was her grandparent’s  farm. JSP is a donor-supported public park that features over 70 artworks along 2 miles of mowed trails across 40 acres of native meadows, fields, and forests. The park is FREE and open every day from dawn to dusk. It is Kentucky's only sculpture park.   

Our Mission is to connect people to each other and the land through the arts. The Park provides creative arts and nature education to the community and transformative opportunities to artists while conserving the beauty of Kentucky’s native, rural landscape.

Our Vision is to be a leader in our community that respects and reflects diverse voices and ideas through shared, creative experiences and responsible land stewardship practices.

The staff and board are committed to advancing social justice and cultural equity. JSP is a space where everyone should feel safe and welcome, and a space to play, create, grow, and heal together.
