Sculpture and Sport: a celebration
for 2012 - 26 May – 1 July
To celebrate the London Olympics, this
exhibition will display an inspired collection of bronze sculptures
of 30 different Olympic and Paralympic sports by 30 British
sculptors. The sculptors were selected to contribute different
approaches and styles and to reflect a cross-section of
contemporary British sculpture.
Money raised from sales will be used to
help disadvantaged and disabled young people. The exhibition will
be supported with both video and live technique demonstrations by
talented local youngsters. It has been organised by Art at the Edge
CIC. The exhibition's curator is the local sculptor Alan Dun.
