History
Hanna Springs Sculpture Garden is located in Campbell Park in Lampasas, Texas. The park itself is owned by the City of Lampasas. The idea of a sculpture garden was inspired by local artist Nancy Gray. The project/garden was dedicated on July 8, 2005. In September 2005, under the direction of Ms. Gray, with support from the community, and with stone provided by Bill Mezger. Three Artists carved their sculpture on site; David Hickman's "Portal to the Springs", Carolann Haggard's "Lampasas Furniture" and TJ Mabrey's "IV Florae for Flora", which are the foundation pieces of our garden. This project has been embraced by our community, and additional sculpture has been purchased (via donations) or donated (by artists) to the park. LAFTA currently has a total of 22 permanent pieces of sculpture in the garden and around Lampasas.

Philosophy
We believe the arts provide a vital part of our daily lives. The sculpture garden is just one small way of providing a wonderful place of contemplation. Mission LAFTA is a 501(C)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to "Expanding opportunities for everyone to experience the arts". LAFTA (Lampasas Association for the Arts) issues an annual call for sculpture (3 to 5 pieces) for annual exhibit. Over the years we have had many sculptors participate in our annual exhibits. Some of them include Eliseo Garcia, Michelle O'Michael, Rebecca Low, Jerry Dodd, Joe Allred, Julio Sanchez, Jeff Turner, John Webb, Scott Shubin, Glory Hartsfield, and many more.
