About the Artist
City Life ‘08 Sponsors:
J. Seward Johnson, Jr. is considered by many to be
one of the most popular, widely seen contemporary
sculptors in the United States. Johnson turned his
painting talents to the medium of sculpture in 1968.
Since then more than 200 of his life-size cast bronze
figures have been featured in private collections
throughout the world and in public places such as
Rockefeller Center in New York City.

There is a photo contest in conjunction with this exhibit, so
remember to bring your camera along! There is also an essay
contest, so put on your creative hats and think of a story to tell
about one of the sculptures. Winners will be selected for both the
photo and essay contest each month. More details about both
