Centennial Sculpture Garden


 

 

The Centennial Sculpture Garden was established in honor of individuals who have made significant contributions to the arts and cultural opportunities in Ardmore and the state of Oklahoma. The Goddard Center was honored to be selected and recognized for an official Oklahoma Centennial Project.

Construction began in October 2006 and was completed in October 2007.  

The Garden space connects the Center’s main building with the Art Studios Building. Careful attention has been placed on creating a beautiful environment that will encourage visitors to come and enjoy the unique collection in a setting designed to educate and inspire. The Garden, designed by Ardmore native Jane Couch, builds on the existing downtown sculpture installations at Central Park, Veteran’s Square and the Chamber of Commerce. The site is within a short walking distance of our downtown merchants and has become a tourism destination.

The Goddard Center now owns the Jesús Moroles sculpture, entitled Disc Sun and his Barcelona Bench. Jesús Moroles has been established as one of the master sculptors of his generation. His work has been included in over 130 one-person exhibitions and more than 200 group exhibitions.
