Public art on K. Būgos Street
The park occupies public space beside K. Būgos Street and the Sartai shore. No house number is listed, so the mapped site point is more reliable.
This is not a fenced museum. Works are distributed through grass and trees, inviting visitors to notice their relationship with water and the town rather than follow one indoor sequence.
The park’s 2008 opening
Dusetos eldership says the park opened in summer 2008 during the town’s countrymen festival. Early works are associated with Virgilijus and Violeta Gasparaičiai, Romualdas Pučekas, Genadijus Kovaliovas, Algirdas Gaižauskas, and Eugenijus Raugas.
The park is not a finished collection from one date. Works are added, restored, or repositioned, so photographs from different years need not match.
Sculpture on the water
In 2021 curator Normantė Ribokaitė and artist Algirdas Gaižauskas began a sculpture-on-water strand near the old horse-racing grandstand, extending art from land towards Sartai.
The Culture Centre records six works added in 2024 and 17 installed during that three-year phase. This describes one project stage, not a permanent total for the whole park.
A changing shoreline
In 2025 the municipality reported eight decorative trees planted and continuing work on benches and pavilions. The site may therefore look newer than older images suggest.
Works or events can temporarily alter access. There are no museum-style hours for this outdoor space, but municipal updates are worth checking before a special journey.
How to view the works
Start with the land-based pieces and move towards the shore, circling sculptures where paths allow. Materials and scale change against trees, grass, water, and modest town buildings.
A quick stop is possible, but 30–75 minutes gives time to understand the park’s connection with Sartai. Grass and the shore can be wet after rain.
An art walk by the shore
Walk from the land-based pieces towards the Sartai shore and pause beside the works placed in or near the water. Works and access can change with events or maintenance, so keep the route flexible.
The park is separate from the nearby Dusetos church. For a continued art theme, pair it with Dusetos Art Gallery.
