Taste of Leonia
will be on Sunday, October 16, 2011 from 1 - 3 pm
The purpose of this organization is to enhance the historically rich art and cultural environment in Leonia via the display of outdoor sculpture. This will provide the opportunity for sculptors to exhibit their works, and for Leonians to enjoy the visual enrichment of their community. The intent is a rotating display of outdoor sculpture on loan from outstanding artists. The exhibition is centered in the Erika and David Boyd Sculpture Garden, and pieces are also mounted in prominent locations throughout town.
Erika and David Boyd at the dedication of the Sculpture Garden, 2008
David was an artist, historian, and preservationist; Erika is a musician and teacher. They link us to the great intellectual and artistic heritage that has always been part of Leonia.
Our ultimate goal is to provide a dialogue between art and the community, to enrich and educate, and to make Leonia an even more special place.
Sculpture for Leonia is an all volunteer, non-profit organization. While sculptures are generously loaned by the artists, we incur considerable expenses for support services. We also hope to upgrade the Sculpture Garden with better lighting and landscaping. Tax deductible contributions, payable to Sculpture for Leonia, may be sent to: Sculpture for Leonia Treasurer, 200 Highwood Avenue Leonia, New Jersey, 07605.
All artworks are for sale by the artists.
