An annual exhibit
This autumn marks the 36th annual Sculpture in the Garden exhibit. Sculpture in the Garden unites the work of local artists with the native plant 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.
Preview Party
Saturday, September 14; 4:30-6:30 p.m.
Meet the artists, get first viewing of the show, enjoy beverages & hors d’oeuvres, and have the first chance to purchase pieces. You’ll also learn the winners of Best in Show and Honorable Mention awards, chosen by a jurist. $40 per person; tickets are limited.
