The Sculpture Plaza and Green Space

Founded in 1975 the Yoknapatawpha Arts Council remains committed to a diverse offering of artistic and cultural opportunities. Each year, YAC creates and delivers an exciting package of projects, programs and good works in the spirit of its mission to the community. 

The Sculpture Plaza and Green Space first opened in 2012. This area showcases sculptures from Mississippi artists. New installations occur annually. The plaza currently graded in gravel, serves an attractive entrance to the Powerhouse. Now, we need your help to make Sculpture Garden and Green Space into a more versatile area. By paving the space with bricks, we will be able to create a durable, weather-resistant plaza. This will allow us to offer a wider variety of programs, including outdoor art markets, art classes, performances, and events. 

What We Need 

We have two options for personalized pavers:

• Commemorative Pavers: These pavers are 4 by 8 inches, and they feature up to 3 lines of text. They are $75. 
• Commemorative Centerpieces: These pavers are 8 by 8 inches, and they feature up to 7 lines of text. They are $150.

By purchasing these pavers, you're helping the Yoknapatawpha Arts Council in a variety of ways.
