Congratulations to our partner, Ben Kirk, selected to co-chair The Uncommon Collective – a capital campaign to support Oklahoma’s first dedicated sculpture park launched by The Uncommon Ground Sculpture Park and Edmond Fine Arts. The Uncommon Collective aims to support both entities in raising $72 million for the park and $20 million for the new Edmond Fine Arts Center located in the park.

As a 501c3 organization, The Uncommon Ground Sculpture Park will be home to more than 40 major sculptures by renowned artists, play spaces, event centers and hiking trails for residents and guests. The site will be located at the northwest corner of 2nd Street and Coltrane, along Historic Route 66. This new park will boost tourism – Oklahoma’s third-largest industry – by collaborating with other cities and organizations to promote the Oklahoma City metropolitan region as the Outdoor Art Capital of Oklahoma.
