Twenty-seven I
Years of
Sculpture in
the Garden
t all began twenty-seven years ago. A Carrboro artist named Kathleen
Buck had a vision. What if sculptors got inspired by the natural beauty
of the North Carolina Botanical Garden to produce unique works of art?
Art that would be illuminated by nature. Art that would nestle in nature
and even aspire to be one with it. Lofty though these goals might have
seemed then, the gauntlet was thrown. Many would agree that over the
years it was in fact picked up with aplomb.
September just
got cooler!
Today’s version of Sculpture in the Garden has benefitted from the vision
of many. The exhibition is held over a period of three months in the
fall. The changing landscape creates settings with unique vibrancy week
after week. Visiting just once is an injustice to the art, to the flora, and
mostly to oneself for being denied the experience of brush strokes on a
different canvas. This is not garden art. It is art in the garden!
It is art that makes the Garden . . . and a Garden that makes the art.
—Vikram Rao, Sculpture in the Garden Steering Committee
Homegrown by Patrick Dougherty
In 2014, renowned Chapel Hill-based sculptor Patrick Dougherty created a one-of-a-kind work titled Homegrown,
incorporating his signature tree saplings. Constructed on-site over a three-week period, Homegrown was completed
October 24, 2014.
The 27th Annual Sculpture in the Garden exhibition is made possible through the financial support of the Botanical
Garden Foundation, Inc., the membership organization of the North Carolina Botanical Garden, and of businesses and
individuals in the Chapel Hill community. Please consider making a gift to the Botanical Garden Foundation, designated
for Sculpture in the Garden, to ensure the continued success of this Garden event. sculptureinthegarden.com
