Installing Coccoons at the Convention Center
























Busy today installing sculpture, first at A.R.T. as part of the Lancaster Museum of Art's "Artful Dining" series. A.R.T. is hosting a "Think Sculpture" exhibition Friday evening the 16th, with 30% of the proceeds supporting the museum. Tickets can be purchased thru the museum before the event.

After work of our six sculptors was delivered, James Bright, Milt Friedly, Milton Good, John Hertzler, Clifton Sheely and David Zimmerman, we proceeded to the new Lancaster County Convention Center, Penn Square Downtown Lancaster, to install work their for ARTWALK. ARTWALK will be held Saturday, October 17 from 10:00 to 5:00, and Sunday, October 18 from noon to 5:00. Look for our guys in the black, A.R.T. "Think Sculpture" t-shirts both days.

The installation of the cocoons, by David Zimmerman were a bit of a challenge, but with the help of Richard and Steve from the Convention Center (and their scissor lift!) it was accomplished without incident. They look fabulous, and generate an unmistakable energy in the cavernous space of the old Watt and Shand department store building (my employer back in the 1980's, I was a floater in that building!). I have to admit I was rather taken by the vibe of the place, and four of us enjoyed a relaxing lunch in the restaurant upon completing the task.

Lynden Gallery will host a First Friday Artists' Reception at the Convention Center on November 6th from 5:00 to 8:00. Come help us Celebrate Sculpture! For more information about our sculptors and their work, visit our website www.lyndengallery.com.
