Each season, Grounds For Sculpture presents new additions to the outdoor permanent collection as well as a group or one-person exhibition indoors.

In the Spring/Summer Season (May - September 2010), New Additions Outdoors are presented by Michael Dunbar, Harry Gordon, Edwerdt Hilgemann and Gwynn Murrill.

In A New Dimension, Keith Haring, an artist heavily influenced by graffiti and cartoon art, took his imagery far beyond those stylistic genres.  Famous the world over for his drawings, paintings, and prints, Haring is less well known for his three-dimensional work.  However, Haring produced a large amount of sculpture during his brief but creative lifetime.  His work in metal, wood, concrete, and terra cotta retains the fluidity of line of the more familiar visual vocabulary associated with his two-dimensional art.  The simple yet rhythmic forms are elevated to animate and inventive sculptural calligraphy and are visually accessible to a large and diverse audience.

While each of Chakaia Booker's sculptures in Eminent Domain are unique, there is one constant in her work: the use of rubber tires as her medium.  Turned, twisted, knotted or folded, she manipulates inner tubing and tires into powerful abstractions.  Originally based on the human figure, her more recent works are equally strong in visual effect, developing into more generalized and less specific anatomical concepts.  The effect of the monochromatic deep black sculptures is a powerful one; they resonate with the intensity of their opulent nature and one overlooks the ordinariness of the material.  Variations of texture, tone, and movement imbue Booker's work, resulting in turbulent forms which are the quintessence of her sculpture.

Grounds For Sculpture is also pleased to present, Member's Musings, the first juried exhibition dedicated exclusively to artwork by Members of Grounds For Sculpture.  Along with their support of the arts, many GFS members are gifted artists themselves.  This exhibition features the inspirations, experiences and talent of our Members embodied in a wide range of media including painting, mixed media and sculpture.  Featuring 25 works selected from 116 entries by 62 artists, this exhibit continues the GFS Education mission of presenting art created by members of the community, participants in GFS workshops, and local and regional non-profit arts groups and organizations, in the newly developed Education Gallery.
