Adamson-Spalding Storybook Garden
/
The garden is located on the southeast lawn of the Abilene Convention Center and contains several sets of storybook sculptures commissioned by the Abilene Cultural Affairs Council. The garden was created in 2017 with the addition of sculptures inspired by the picture book art of Garth Williams, including “Charlotte’s Web,” “Stuart Little” and the Little Golden Book “Three Bedtime Stories.”
New sculptures are added each year during the Children’s Art & Literacy Festival based on characters illustrated by the summer artist on exhibit at the National Center for Children’s Illustrated Literature in Abilene.
The garden is free to visit and open day and night with special nighttime lighting. To request to use the garden for a special event, please contact the council at 325-677-1161 or email info@abilenecac.org
