Public Art - Rotating Sculpture Program
With funding from a voter-approved Transient Guest Tax, the City of Liberty and the Liberty Arts Commission launched an annual Rotating Sculpture Program in 2017. Each year, the outdoor sculpture exhibition features new jury-selected, three-dimensional works of art displayed around the historic downtown area. With public input, the Liberty Arts Commission may purchase one or more of the pieces to be added to the City's permanent public art collection and to be moved to a permanent location elsewhere in the City. The remaining pieces are available for private purchase or commission. Through this innovative program, visitors to Liberty enjoy an ever-changing artscape in our downtown and beyond!
Download the Otocast app for a map of the sculpture exhibit and to hear description of each piece from the artist themselves. You can also vote for your favorite sculpture in the app. Available on apple and android devices.

Due to COVID-19 impacts on the Transient Guest Tax budget, the Liberty Arts Commission prioritized keeping public art available in historic downtown Liberty. Five artists from the 2019-2020 program accepted contract extensions to have their work on display for another year. The Commission also welcomed two new sculptures for the 2020-2021 exhibit.

The inaugural year of Liberty's Rotating Sculpture Program featured Jacob Burmood's Plumb Twisted. It was on display for one year just west of the Clay County Archives on Franklin Street. The Liberty Arts Commission purchased the piece and it was installed in its new, permanent home outside of the Liberty Community Center on Withers Rd. in 2019. |
