“Franconia sculpture park is the pre-eminent, artist-centered sculpture park in the midwest. Founded in 1996, franconia provides physically and intellectually wide-open spaces that inspire new ways of thinking through access to contemporary sculpture, installation and land art. Located in the scenic st. Croix river valley.”

Form 990, Page 2, Part III, Line 4B

“Engagement: franconia operates a 50-acre outdoor museum that includes franconia commons, a 7,000 sq. Foot visitor center, education space, gallery and gift shop. Our activities cultivate critical dialogue between artists and audiences; support artists through the production and presentation of new, experimental work; and educate artists and audiences of tomorrow. Franconia applies creative solutions to the problems of today and tomorrow through the vehicle of contemporary sculpture. We create bold programming that is ambitious, innovative, and that is responsive to the wants and needs of artists and our community. Moreover, we aim to create a welcoming, inviting space for all visitors to learn more about art, the environment, and the changing world we live in. Franconia is free and open to the public 365-days a year, and serves more than 110,000 adults and 75,000 youths annually. We are proud to share franconia paid 235 artists last year through our programs. This is reflected in the balance between education, engagement, and residencies last year.”
