Nyenhuis Sculpture Garden - Holland, Michigan USA - Sculpture Gardens on Waymarking.com

The Nyenhuis Sculpture Garden is located on the campus of Hope College in Holland, Michigan.

From the Hope College website:
The Nyenhuis Sculpture Garden was established by a gift from former Hope College professor and provost Jack Nyenhuis and his wife Lee as part of the Kruizenga Art Museum fundraising campaign. The garden was originally conceived as a way to further beautify the campus and extend the museum’s educational impact beyond its walls. Although the nucleus of the Nyenhuis Sculpture Garden is concentrated around the Kruizenga Art Museum, the eventual goal is to place additional sculptures near other buildings to create a network of public art that stretches across the entire Hope College campus. The Nyenhuis Sculpture Garden was formally dedicated on October 14, 2017.

Also from Hope College:
The sculpture garden surrounds the Kruizenga Art Museum, which opened in September 2015, and is being dedicated with four works in place and another forthcoming. [2021, seven works in place] The space is being named in honor of Leona and Dr. Jacob Nyenhuis, the lead donors for the park, for their many years of service to Hope. Jacob Nyenhuis is retired from the Hope faculty as provost emeritus and professor of classics emeritus, and is currently serving as director of the college’s A.C. Van Raalte Institute.
The artists, who include a Hope faculty member and a Hope graduate, and their works are: Kevin Barrett, “Ignite”; Peter Chinni, “Natura Extensa”; Murray Dewart, “Pulse of the Morning II”; Todd Erickson, “Ziibi Elpidos”; and Billy Mayer, “Midwinter Horn.” Created in the Abstract Modernist tradition between 1965 and 2017, the pieces vary in media (wood, stone, metal) and complement a Modernist pavilion structure sheathed in flame-cut charcoal gray slate panels and reminiscent of an artist’s palette in shape.
