An annual exhibit
This autumn marks the 34th annual Sculpture in the Garden exhibit. Sculpture in the Garden unites the work of local artists with the curated landscapes of the North Carolina Botanical Garden. Together, they invite you to experience art, the natural world, and the relationship between the two in a new way.
