Each week sculptors in this exhibition will be doing 30-minute artist talks to share their background and work process.  Photos will be shown to demonstrate how their sculpture has developed over time and there will be an opportunity for questions. Come and meet these outstanding artists! Note, there will be no program on Memorial Day weekend.
