The original project transformed the sidewalks and landscape of Kassel, Germany, with the planting of 7,000 oak trees between 1982 and 1987.[3] As part of the Tree Partnership, over 200 trees were planted among Patterson Park, Carroll Park, and Wyman Park in Baltimore.
The Sculpture Park is managed by the Center for Art, Design and Visual Culture at UMBC.
Location
The Joseph Beuys Sculpture Park is located on the UMBC campus between Administration Drive and Commons Drive, along Hilltop Circle. There are multiple paths (paved and unpaved) that run through the park, which allows for student access.
