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. We provide creative arts and nature experiences to the community and transformative opportunities to artists while conserving the beauty of Kentucky’s rural landscape.

Our Vision

is to be a leader in our community that respects and reflects all voices and ideas through shared, creative experiences and responsible land stewardship practices. JSP is a space where everyone should feel safe and welcome, and a space to play, create, grow, and heal together.
