The bronze state of Abraham Lincoln, which is situated on a marble base was created by William Wolfe. The statue was dedicated on August 27, 2023. The statue was privately funded with donations to the Kalamazoo Lincoln Institute, whose purpose is to \"create sustained value from Kalamazoo's unique Abraham Lincoln legacy with education programs including leadership development training for area youth, biennial symposiums with art and essay contents, and an instructive commemorative state of Abraham Lincoln in Bronson Park.\" Abraham Lincoln visited Kalamazoo on August 27, 1856, which was his only public appearance in Michigan during his lifetime.

Created by George Rickey in 1973. Gift of Virginia Pratt Bardeen in memory of her mother, Evlyn Hull Pratt.

Artist, teacher, author and former KIA director, George Rickey, a man for all seasons, passed away Wednesday, July 17, 2002 at the age of 95. He came to Kalamazoo in 1939, as the first recipient of a Carnegie Foundation Artist-in-Residence grant. While also teaching art at Olivet and Kalamazoo College, he served as interim KIA director for about 6 months and maintained a studio in Fennville. Although he was only in Kalamazoo for two years, he maintained a lifelong friendship with the town and the KIA. Rickey is most recognized for his large, steel kinetic sculptures that explore the relationship between time and space with their graceful, sweeping arms that move with air currents (see his 1973 sculpture, Four Lines Oblique, located at the entrance). But before switching to sculpture in the 1960s, George Rickey was a painter. Creating small landscapes, portraits and interior scenes, Rickey painted nature as it was and used basic, tonal colors to unify and balance his compositions. The Card Players (originally titled, Sunday in Fennville) was inspired by the natural composition of poses of a group of friends playing cards. One can also see a nod to Cezanne's work of the same name.

Longtime director of the KIA school, Kirk Newman has also had an active career as a sculptor. In the early 1960s, he began using the lost-wax technique of bronze casting to create small sculptures of anonymous businessmen. In subsequent works, Newman expanded his subject matter to include satirical depictions of contemporary life. People represents the artist’s first large-scale, public sculpture. It depicts a row of figures engaged in animated cocktail conversation. With loosened inhibitions, the participant’s true personalities start to emerge—note the man with a paper bag on his head. Newman humorously presented personality types, though some Kalamazoo residents found the figures bore more than a passing resemblance to local individuals. The original figures were created in plaster, a medium that the artist found ideal for developing both form and texture. He would later do similar pieces for locations in Toronto and Hong Kong.
