This exhibiton closes April 8, 2012.

In the Domestic Arts Building, the 2012 Outstanding Achievement in Contemporary Sculpture Awards exhibition is now in its 11th consecutive year as an ongoing partnership between the International Sculpture Center and Grounds For Sculpture.  Supporting, encouraging and recognizing the work of young sculptors, the International Sculpture Center presents this award competition each year to its member colleges and universities throughout the world, who in turn nominate outstanding students.  This year, 15 award recipients and 13 honorable mentions were selected from 185 nominees.  The distinguished jury included: Brooke Kamin Rapaport, an independent curator and writer in New York City; DeWitt Godfrey, artist and director of the Institute for Creative and Performing Arts at Colgate University, New York; and John Lash, artist and CEO of the Digital Atelier in New Jersey.
This exhibition closes April 22, 2012.

In the mezzanine gallery of the Domestic Arts Building is artwork by Michael Dunbar, well known for his large-scale sculptures characterized by an industrial aesthetic combined with precise engineering and superb craftsmanship.  Instrumental Transitions presents another equally distinguished aspect of his work.  This exhibition is composed of 14 small works from the artist's Machinist Studies series.  The Machinist Studies capture the power and elegance of Dunbar's large, public sculptures on a far more delicate and intimate scale.
This exhibition closes April 22, 2012.
