Ms. Le Roux explained that the Oliewenhuis Art Museum received funding in 2003 from the National Lotteries Distribution Trust Fund (NLDTF) for a project that involved sculptors who resided and worked in South Africa. The sculptors were invited to submit proposals for sculptures to be permanently installed in the Museum gardens. The final selection took place during June 2004 and eleven sculptors were commissioned to produce sculptures for the project. These artworks now form the Sculpture Park.
