Live. Learn. Believe. Outdoor Sculpture Exhibition

Download the Exhibition Guide

The exhibition goal is to create an aesthetic venue for education, visitor interaction, and recognition of the arts. Eight sculptures of various media were selected and installed during the summer and fall of 2007.

The sculptures were selected by a panel of jurors: Evelyn Kiefer, Assistant to the Director at the John and Mildred Putnam Sculpture Collection; Marisa Pascucci, the Norton Museum of Art Harold and Anne Berkley Smith Curator of American Art; and Julien Robson, Curator of Contemporary Art at the Speed Art Museum.

Each sculpture will be exhibited on campus for 12-24 months. Georgetown College intends to extend the exhibition to become a consistent, rotating exhibition of outdoor sculpture. According to Dr. Juilee Decker, Chair of the Art Department, "this project has already yielded positive feedback from our campus and community on efforts that have been nearly two years in the making: from the donor's foresight and spurring of this significant opportunity, to the two sculpture majors who identified the sculpture locations, and the work of the advisory board comprised of current students and faculty of the college as well as individuals from the community of Georgetown. I am grateful that our faculty in the art department and galleries have shepherded this project as a means of fostering the careers of these artists while also enabling individuals to engage with public sculpture in a meaningful way."

The exhibition is sponsored by Richard Spears, ’57 graduate of Georgetown College and a member of the Georgetown College Foundation Board. "Art is a critical dimension of any great liberal arts college. This wonderful exhibit adds a richness to the Georgetown College learning environment and becomes a wonderful benefit to our community," Dr. William H. Crouch Jr., President of Georgetown College.
