Discover the Museum Without Walls
Imagine integrating one of your community’s most iconic and enjoyable public spaces with a Parthenon of nationally recognized sculptures from established and emerging artists. Imagine these sculptures being rotated and replaced every two years so that visitors will constantly be entertained and surprised by both the art and its interaction with the environment within which it is being presented.
If you can imagine this, you are imagining a Museum Without Walls.
The Newport Beach Sculpture Garden
The Sculpture Exhibition in Civic Center Park is an integral feature of the Newport Beach Civic Center. Civic Center Park, which turned nearly half a million square feet of undeveloped land into a new public park, designed by the renowned landscape architectural firm Peter Walker and Partners (PWP).
Introducing the Arts to the City
Led by Arlene Greer, the City Arts Commission determined that a rotating exhibition, in which pieces are loaned for a 2-year period, was the optimal approach to bring significant art to the City in a cost-efficient manner. In 2013, the Newport Beach City Council authorized the City Arts Commission to implement an inaugural rotational sculpture exhibit in Civic Center Park.
Currently, Phases 6 and 7 are on display.
