Art Installations

"Wickiup Encampment" & "Wickiup Overlook"

These installations were created by nationally-recognized public artist Buster Simpson. Commissioned by the City's Department for Culture & Creative Development, Simpson is recognized for his impact on environmental, sustainable public art projects.

Wickiup refers to a primitive domed structure historically associated with Native Americans of the Southwest. Simpson's modern take on a Wickiup includes two sites, three metal domes, metal mesh, and geometric benches providing shade and a place to rest that honors the historical presence of indigenous peoples and their light footprint on the land.

The installations include features made out of local Texas limestone and red granite, and provide scenic views of Pearsall Park, nearby Lackland Air Force Base and the city's downtown in the distance.

Ujuālnān (Grand Sky)

Created by San Antonio artist Doroteo Garza, Ujuālnān (Grand Sky) is an art installation inspired by the planets of our solar system. Its name, meaning "Grand Sky" in Pajalate—a Coahuiltecan language once spoken in Yanaguana (San Antonio)—honors the region's ancestral heritage. The sculptural series invites visitors to walk through a scaled representation of the solar system, blending art, science, and cultural storytelling to encourage reflection, curiosity, and community connection.
