I stopped by The Whistle Stop Depot today to check out the
2013 Tucson Sculpture Festival taking place from February 1st - 15th (free). Wow! I was really impressed by the quality and diversity of more than 100 different sculptures on display. Here are a few of my favorites, but there are many more really cool ones on display. If you are into art and in the Tucson area, I'd really recommend you drop in on the Whistle Stop Depot to check it out (plenty of free parking).

What a wonderful exhibit. I would find it hard to pick a favorite.
ReplyDeleteVery true, lots of great work.
Delete"Young Poseidon" is by Kim Blackhawk, the beautiful stone piece is "Screamie" by Kirk McCoy, and the welded metal lady (face shown) is "Alice" by Moises Orozco. The ceramic face is not by Nuisnow and Corman, but rather by Susan Kay Johnson and is called "Open Handed." I apologize for error on the first list of artists, however I made a better list today. I'm glad you enjoyed the show.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the artists information updates! I really enjoyed the show and hope you continue to see a lot of people stopping by to see this incredible artwork between now and February 15th.
DeleteThank you for enjoying my sculpture Mortimer (6 ft. Snowbird). I notice you also had a picture of his girlfriend Martha in one of your photos also. They are both from my Snowbird series.
