Reception & Tour this Saturday 17th! 2-5! Please Come!

We'll start with refreshments, then we'll take a tour of all the sculpures, with artists saying a few words about each. It's a lot of fun -- sort of like a pub crawl, but with art instead of pubs.... It looks to be a beautiful day....

The Show is UP and looking Great!

This past Saturday, 34 artists worked busily under a beautiful blue sky, populating the park with 34 sculptures, many working with this year's theme of TRACE. It's a great day, when we finally get to see what everybody has been working on, and this year we definitely have a lot of interesting, strong work.

I'll start uploading photos today...

and come to the Tour / Reception on this Saturday, the 18th, 2 to 5!

And the Theme for the 2010 show is ... TRACE !

Tuesday night was a fun and dramatic meeting of Maudslay sculptors to set the theme for this years show.

A long list was compiled from ideas contributed by everyone, and we went through several rounds of voting to finally get to a small group of finalists.
