Smilers at Barnum . . .


The Society of Connecticut Sculptors (SCS), an association of sculptors whose work is derived from and inspired by the real world, will present a juried exhibit titled, From Models to Monuments, from June 2 to June 28 in the People’s United Community Foundation Gallery at the Barnum Museum, 820 Main Street, Bridgeport, Connecticut (USA).

"The narrative for From Models to Monuments, will describe the artist’s creative process from the attainment of a commission to the sculpture model and after many discussions, the installation of the final sculpture,” noted John Molloy III, President of The Society of Connecticut Sculptors.


The exhibit will include smaller scale versions of The FDR Memorial on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. by Neil Estern; the U.S. Navy Memorial in Washington, D.C. and Virginia Civil Rights Memorial on the grounds of the state capitol in Richmond, Virginia by Stanley Bleifeld, as well as the Holocaust Memorial, permanently on exhibit at Temple Israel in Westport by Steffi Friedman.
