The Benini Foundation and Sculpture Ranch is located in the Texas Hill Country, six miles west of Johnson City. On land previously owned by President Lyndon Johnson,, it has now evolved into a facility that includes a 14000 sq.ft. Studios Building with a fine arts library, exhibit galleries featuring 40 years of Benini’s paintings, as well as guest artists, and a Sculpture Ranch on the surrounding 140 acres. The term Sculpture Ranch was chosen to reflect the strong environment of the Texas Hill Country. The Mediterranean-like setting provides a showcase for contemporary talent as national and international artists are placing large-scale, contemporary sculpture on the grounds.

While it is not competitive in spirit, a panel of peers in the arts determines acceptance of sculptures for display. Sculptures must be large-scale (minimum height 12’) with materials suited for the outdoors of the Texas Hill Country where winds at times are a factor. The subject matter is left to the artists, however, strong, non-representational pieces will fit best with the natural environment.
