Guided tours of the exhibit featuring artists from throughout the southeastern states can be scheduled for area arts organizations, businesses and schools. On May 14 from 6-7:30 p.m. sculptor Stoney Lamar will join fellow artists Dale Weiler and Dustin Farnsworth for a panel discussion of their personal and professional process of creating works of art.

Sculpture 2013, co-chaired by volunteers Jean Pettigrew and Sofia Dow, is expected to be a biennial event.

Executive director Beth Child said, “We’re very pleased with the number of entries we received in our first year of this show. We will be presenting not only the best of our local sculptors, but also we’re excited to present new sculptors to our community and patrons.”

All sculpture will be open for viewing from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Tuesday – Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. Sculpture 2013 is sponsored by Laurel Hurst/Laurel Wood, Main Street Financial Group and an anonymous donor.

TFAC provides opportunities and facilities for the entire Carolina Foothills community in order to advance experience and participation in the arts.  For more information, call 828-859-8322 or visit www.tryonarts.org.
