New Hope Arts Outdoor Sculpture Project

The New Hope Arts Outdoor Sculpture Project is a free and accessible public art display creating an artistic gateway into the Borough of New Hope, Pennsylvania.

Begun by New Hope Arts in 2003, our partnership with The PNC Foundation from June 2015 to December 2016 with a The PNC Arts Alive grant provided the funding to expand the program. Today the Project continues its sculpture mission with the support of private donors and sponsors.

Earth Piercing Cleaned & Waxed

Michael Cooper collaborated with the Free Library of New Hope & Solebury to refresh the vivid sculpture on the front lawn. One of the most prominent of the pieces in New Hope, artist and host for the sculpture noticed the build up of dirt and lack-luster appearance of the piece first installed in 2016. Michael Cooper undertook the cleaning project. Maintaining outdoor artwork is an added responsibility for sculpture parks. Thanks to Michael and the Library for making this important arrangement for our viewing pleasure.
