The Bernice Garden Scholarship Fund at the Arkansas Community Foundation funds the work, meant to represent or reflect “the spirit, nature and history of Arkansas.” Sculptors receive a $2,800 stipend per artwork and retain ownership. The Village Commons, a non-profit that focuses on sustainability, coordinated the scholarships.
