The sculpture garden is designed with the goal to draw the public’s attention toward the environment. The garden will display a number of sculptures crafted from recycled materials alongside Swart’s work to further inform the public of environmental sustainability.

The sculptures in the Mark Swart Sculpture Garden are available for purchase, and when pieces are acquired they will be replaced with new sculpture, altering the artistic landscape throughout the year. Drawing a parallel to nature, Graham’s Fine Art Gallery will change exhibitions to coincide with the changing of seasons.
