Well, you often see sculptures inside a museum where they are preserved and meant to be seen not touched.

But one Frankfort nonprofit turns that notion on its head.

The Josephine Sculpture Park encourages engaging with its art pieces in the natural world around them, in its outdoor exhibits located on a reclaimed farm.

It feels only natural.

It would be the subject of this week's art and culture segment we call Tapestry.

We're here at Josephine Sculpture Park, where we have about 80 artworks on exhibit from artists from all over the world.

They range from large interactive sculptures like this one to smaller sculptures and graffiti murals as well as sculptures that are way bigger than this.

But the cool thing about Josephine Sculpture Park is that all of the artworks here are hands on and they're intended to be interacted with in some way, which is really different from most large outdoor sculpture collections that you would find associated with a museum.

For example.

Our focus is really on providing opportunities for artists to create new works and for the community and visitors to be able to engage with those in a really meaningful way.

So climbing, painting, exploring inside.

On top of those are all different ways you can explore sculptures.

At Josephine Sculpture Park.

So this land actually was my grandparents farm and I spent a lot of time out here as a child and really fell in love with the natural world thanks to this property.

And so as an adult.

So many family farms are disappearing.

And this was one of them that was slated for a more commercial development.

And I wanted to develop it in a way that I felt really benefited the community in an enduring way and could enable people to have the similar kinds of experiences that I had out here as a child.

So to be able to share that with every person in my community and to support artists at the same time and to keep this space green was really like those were all passions of mine.

You can see each of the panels on the sculpture.

There's a composition that is native Kentucky, native birds and Kentucky native flowers.

This sculpture is really unique because it serves as a bird blind as well.

We do a lot of land restoration projects at the Sculpture park, and behind me is our smallest meadow, where we have worked to introduce Kentucky native wildflowers that encourage birds.

So the you can hang out inside the sculpture.

And if you're quiet, the birds will come from the cedar thicket and fly over to the meadow when it's in full bloom.

Glorious.

It's a really special way to experience art and nature in a in a really unique way.

Most of the exhibition is rotating exhibition, so every time you come here, there's going to be a little something different to see.

So every time you come here, it's a different season.

It's a different day.

The sky is going to be different.

The birds are going to sound different.

The plants, some plants will be blooming this time.

They won't be blooming next time.

And the artwork changes in that similar way, too.

So it is very much kind of has its own like life cycle, similar to the natural world.

And I think that keeps it fun for people to come back.

The park is free and open from dawn until dusk.

You can find some of their events all listed there on their web page.
