Sculpture in the Garden
Sculptures from 26 regional artists installed in natural, picturesque setting
Now through April 16, 2012
Free with admission or membership.
For the fourth consecutive year, San Diego Botanic Garden is proud to feature a unique exhibition of sculptural creations throughout the lush and natural 37-acre setting. From June 13, 2011 through April 16, 2012, 26 artists will present their sculptures set against the beautiful backdrop of dragon trees, fruit gardens, bamboo groves, and many more unique garden areas in Sculpture in the Garden.
“We have been so pleased with the positive response from our visitors to see the sculptures displayed throughout the Garden.” says Julian Duval, President and CEO of San Diego Botanic Garden. “Not to mention, our artists tell us they could not imagine a more magnificent backdrop for their artwork than the Garden.”
This year’s curator, Naomi Nussbaum Art & Design, has orchestrated an eclectic exhibition ranging from functional “garden” artwork to large abstract work with an emphasis on diversity of media and scale.
Many of this year’s artists have returned to once again make part in this wonderful exhibit. Each piece was selected to appeal to a wide range of interests, with the hope that people may easily visualize the pieces in their own garden.
What makes this exhibition unique is that it is part of the fundraising effort for the Garden. It is a Phantom Gallery – a “gallery” exhibition in which artwork is integrated temporarily into a non-gallery venue – in this case an enchanting botanical garden. All of the artwork is for sale, so take a closer look the next time you visit.
