Mission & Vision

The Western North Carolina Sculpture Center exists to inspire the appreciation  and creation  of sculpture in harmony  with the landscape.

The WNC Sculpture Center is housed in the roughly 10,000 sq. ft. gymnasium located on the Patterson School Foundation grounds in Happy Valley, N.C. The generous 30 ft ceilings will enable sculptors to work large and place completed work in an expansive landscape or trail setting. 

WNC Sculpture Park is FREE and open to the public everyday from dawn until dusk. Situated on 12 acres including a sculpture trail, we offer almost 100 sculptures on display!Our studio offers residencies for artists throughout the year, internships, community workshops, and we host a series of events which showcase a variety of exciting sculptural processes.
