Sculpture exhibition opens at USC
21 September, 2005
20 September to 8 October
An exhibition of small-scale sculpture opened to the public at
the University of the Sunshine Coast Gallery last night.
Designed to complement the International Sculpture Symposium at
the Maroochy Bushland Botanic Gardens, the exhibition runs until
Saturday 8 October.
Eight artists from around the world (Japan, South Korea, Spain,
France, Slovakia, USA and Australia) plus local artists are
presenting an exhibition of exquisite small-scale sculpture.
"It is the first exhibition at the Gallery that is devoted
totally to sculpture and it is stunning," said Gallery Curator Dawn
Oelrich, "What an opportunity for the people of the Sunshine
Coast."
"The International Sculpture Symposium is such an exciting
event. We will be able to watch the creation of artworks before our
very eyes.
"The University of the Sunshine Coast Gallery is happy to
support the event by holding an exhibition here with the
international visitors and some of Australia's finest
sculptors.
"Some of the locals are Glen Manning, Fiona McCarron and Hew
Chee Fong.
"I hope everyone will visit the Maroochy Bushland Botanic
Gardens sometime between 24 September and 9 October while the
Symposium is on, and then they can call in here to the University
Gallery after to see the smaller pieces," said Ms Oelrich.
The University of the Sunshine Coast Gallery is open from 10am
to 4pm weekdays and 1 to 4pm on Saturday. Admission to the
exhibition is free and the public is welcome.
The 2005 USC Gallery Exhibition Program is proudly supported by
Coastline BMW.
