The history

Local artist Mel Fowler organized Liberty Hill’s International Sculpture Park Symposium in 1976 following trips to Europe and interactions with the larger sculpting community. The event attracted sculptors from around the world, where they created pieces for the city’s rst sculpture exhibit at Veteran’s Park downtown. In 1977, the city won a Texas Arts Award for the symposium. Today, the park is located at Lion’s Foundation Park, near Louine Noble Elementary School, and is maintained by the Liberty Hill Development Foundation. Together with the city, the foundation hosts the festival, to which Liberty Hill has contributed $25,000 annually since 2022. Some of the park’s works have attracted attention from the Smithsonian. The museum reached out about acquiring Ann Merck’s sculpture Western Vision in 1987, according to Liberty Hill historian Gary Spivey. Discussions were revived in 2021 and are still ongoing.
