The North Carolina Arboretum is
pleased to host these regional artists in its third major juried
sculpture show. Kaleidoscope - Contemporary Landscape
Sculpture embraces the opportunity to see things of beautiful
form, pattern and change. Just as the kaleidoscope - a favorite
childhood toy - offers a changeable scene when looking through the
mirrored tube, outdoor sculpture can change the view of a landscape by
its presence and our position in relation to the piece.
As our mountain environment changes
climatically, socially and physically, so too must individuals adapt
to change. Art may express change and at the same time offer
tradition, familiarity - through the use of elemental materials, and
expressions of stability. The Arboretum artfully integrates thirteen sculptures into created garden landscapes, infusing public art into
public space. The Arboretum is committed to supporting regional
artists and to its simply stated mission: to cultivate connections
between people and plants.
All sculptures are available for
purchase through our shops Connections Gallery or The Garden
Trellis.
