Imagine “Dance of Life” swirling in wildflower surroundings. 🌼

From stages and playgrounds to trails and dog parks, The Uncommon Ground Sculpture Park is designed for exploration and play — and this piece fits in perfectly!

Dance of Life by D.E. McDermott was purchased through the Edmond Visual Arts Commission (EVAC) with a private donor/ public matching fund program called Art in Public Places in partnership with Joseph and Elizabeth Warner.

Leave a legacy — etched in stone! 🎨🌳✨

The Uncommon Ground Sculpture Park, Oklahoma’s first dedicated sculpture park, is 62-acres where art, nature and community come together in meaningful ways.

During the initial build of the park, we are offering engraved pavers at $2,500, each one telling a story, honoring a loved one, celebrating a milestone, or simply showing support for a space that will inspire generations to come.

Your personalized paver will:

🌳 Help fund the construction of accessible, beautifully designed walking paths

🌳 Support the integration of art, nature and play throughout the park

🌳 Create a lasting legacy within a one-of-a-kind cultural destination

To secure your paver at The Uncommon Ground Sculpture Park, visit: https://cfok.fcsuite.com/erp/donate/create/fund?funit_id=5513

In the notes section, indicate “paver”.

You will be contacted to finalize what you would like etched on your paver.

Thank you for your generosity and helping us pave the way forward!

As part of the 2026 Oklahoma Public Health Association Conference, attendees toured The Uncommon Ground Sculpture Park — 62-acres where art, nature, and recreation nourish the mind, body, and soul. 🫀🌳✨

The research is clear: time spent surrounded by art and nature supports physical, emotional, and mental well-being. As a free-admission park, we see Uncommon Ground as a form of preventative medicine for the community.

“If we had a medicine that delivered as many benefits as parks, we would all be taking it.”

Our friends from OpenWater Sports stopped by for a sneak peak of the art, nature and recreation coming to Route 66 at The Uncommon Ground Sculpture Park! 🎨🌳🛝

They previewed the hiking paths, chatted about pollinator habitats, and checked out the fishing ponds — The Uncommon Ground’s “open water”.

We look forward to fresh air, sunshine, and Route 66 recreation, watching the OpenWater team in action at this weekend’s Route 66 Beach Festival!

Meet the Master of Realism 🖌️

Dave McGary (1958-2013) wanted to be remembered for having documented, with respect, the culture of Native American people.

His attention to detail and the technique he developed for painting bronze, earned him recognition as the Master of Realism.

“The sculptures are entirely bronze. The beaded fabric, rumpled leather clothing and feathered headdresses are bronze.

Those slender strips of fringe and impossibly wispy feathers don’t rustle at the slightest provocation.

Run your fingers over the intricate beading, the folds of the material and you feel only the coolness of metal.”

Between the lifesize stature and staggering realism of his creation, park guests may wonder if they’ve come face to face with Hunkpapa Lakota warrior, Rain-in-the-Face.

“Rain in the Face” by Dave McGary was purchased through the Edmond Visual Arts Commission (EVAC) Art in Public Places program in partnership with an anonymous donor.
