SCULPTURE NEW HOPE

OUTDOOR EXHIBIT 2007

Eight new pieces were selected for the Outdoor Exhibition and another four previously installed pieces remained to bring the total of installations to twelve. New locations were added to the open-air museum and more were offered for future installations. “This is very exciting, “ explains Nw Hope Arts Director Robin Larsen. “We began 4 years ago installing 5 pieces of outdoor work. We have now grown to include a total of 12 this year.”

Victoria Donohoe, art critic, Philadelphia Inquirer
"A twin bill that suggests a kind of symphony of artworks going on. And it’s also now the visual symbol of New Hope. It’s significant to find a new formed art organization able to mount a sculpture show of this size and complexity, one that manages so accurately to reflect the interests and pulse of contemporary society. New Hope Arts Inc. is a name to remember for this commendable annual show and future art events."

Monumental works range from Harry Gordon’s 40-ton abstract stone Granite Arch that signals the Rt. 202 “backdoor” entrance to New Hope to the wonderful lifelike, steel River Elk sculpted by Wendy Klemperer installed in Ingham Creek at the rear of the Artworks Building on Mechanic Street. Artists currently included in the Outdoor Sculpture Show are Deborah Masters. Patrick McDonald, Gunnar Theel, Harry Gordon, Kevin Forest, Dana Stewart and Wendy Klemperer. Artists whose works will be installed mid-May 2006 include Carl Billingsley, Jim Gallucci and Elizabeth Miller McCue.

Gunnar Theel, exhibiting sculptor
"In a large city like NYC, where events pile on top of each other, one easily forgets the people that make events possible. At the New Hope Sculpture Exhibition I was impressed by the energy, enthusiasm, and sheer fun organizers, volunteers, and patrons contributed to make this show happen.

I was also very impressed by the quality and diversity of the sculptures presented at the New Hope Sculpture Exhibition. …The selected works show the professionalism Robin and the committee employed towards this exhibition."

All outdoor sculptors are paid a stipend for exhibiting their works and New Hope Arts assumes expenses associated with installation and insurance. This year, New Hope Arts has staggered installations and length of exhibition time for outdoor installations. All new works remain on exhibit for a minimum of one year and some - like the Arch - will remain as long as five years.

In conjunction with the indoor and outdoor exhibitions, New Hope Arts sponsored Artspeak, a series of gallery talks held Saturday evenings at 7PM throughout the show. Guests enjoyed a wine and cheese reception and the opportunity to meet artists and learn more about the creative process. Many of the talks featured more than one artist and some included demonstrations by the sculptors.

On Sundays from 2-4PM NHArts hosted Artsounds, a series of informal music concerts where area musicians played in the Stockton Avenue gallery space among the artwork. The series included a variety of music including progressive improvisantial space music to acoustic celtic & folk music.

The exhibition was open Thursday through Sunday from 12noon - 5PM through June 4, 2006.
