Seven works of sculpture will be at the Chapman Cultural Center, in and outside the lobby area of the David Reid Theater and five works will be in the exhibition area of the Sandor Teszler Library at Wofford College.
"We wanted to introduce to Brookgreen Gardens' magnificent sculpture collection to the people in the Upstate and the neighboring areas of North Carolina," said Susu Johnson, a Trustee of Brookgreen Gardens and Converse College. "I know some people who have never seen or experienced the beauty of Brookgreen. So, we organized this exhibit to create more awareness of a national treasure located here in South Carolina."
"We are honored to collaborate with new
Chapman Cultural Center, Converse College and Wofford College
in putting together this exhibition," said Bob Jewell, President
