The exhibition was dev eloped by me in 1994. <br />Exhibiting artists share the expense of inv itations and expenses. <br />100% of the sales go directly to the artists without commissions <br />taken. <br />This exhibition has been taking place for the past 25 years. This year, <br />2020 it was cancelled due to Cov id. Due to the cancellation, we lost <br />the expense of already printed inv itations before cancellation, and a <br />substantial portion of each of our 2020 sales income <br />The exhibition is a collaborativ e initiativ e in which professional artists <br />expose audiences to a unique arts experience. All of the sculptures <br />in this exhibition are created for the outdoors. Viewing outdoor <br />sculpture in a natural and domestic garden setting is an excellent <br />way to enhance the interpretation of sculptural art. The v enue allows <br />for the exhibition of sculptural pieces placed in a natural outdoor <br />setting. The public is educated in the realization that art is not only <br />for public spaces and museums but to be enjoyed in ev eryday life in <br />our homes and gardens. It is also an educational experience for <br />children who interact with many of the pieces and hav e an <br />opportunity to meet the sculptors who are present throughout the <br />ev ent. <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: 35269C76-76A0-4ED6-B36C-6AAA528A5760
