Both the Indoor Arts Exhibition and the Outdoor Sculpture Show have grown in quality and scope. The selection committee spent days carefully reviewing works before choosing pieces by 33 nationally and internationally recognized sculptors for this years exhibit.
In addition, the Outdoor Exhibition was expanded to include a larger number of pieces, new sites and more interaction with the public. The exhibition, featuring classical nudes to more abstract representations and whimsical mixed media pieces that further explore the perimeters of sculpture, offers an inspiring glimpse at the amazing diversity in the art world today. While artists from around the country applied, the exhibition still speaks very highly of the importance of area artists in the broader American art scene with more than one half of the exhibiting artists from Pennsylvania and New Jersey. In all, the exhibition offers visitors a view of more than 55 museum quality works by artists from 8 states from as far away as Washington.
Sharyn Keiser, President, New Hope Borough Council, "I commend you on the Sculpture and Showcase Events. This is just one of the many excellent and successful endeavors representing the arts that you have organized and brought to the Borough. The resurgence of the arts …is partially attributed to your efforts. We are once again being recognized as a “center of art” in the county, state and nationally”
