Saturday, Sept. 7 — WEST RUTLAND — An exciting group of artists will present sculptural installations for SculptFest24, Sept. 7-Oct. 20, at The Carving Studio and Sculpture Center (CSSC).
Proposals were submitted in response to this year’s theme of “Coruscation.”
The Coruscation theme calls for works to “illuminate” the grounds of the Carving Studio’s Sculptfest24 through light inspired sculpture and installation. The forested footpath provides opportunities for works ranging from large installations to small, intimate spaces, possibly utilizing natural or artificial light. Reflective, light-capturing, and light-emitting artworks devised as literal or metaphorical luminosity are welcome.
SculptFest24 will take place on the CSSC forested sculpture trail by the sculpture garden. The trail offers installation opportunities in both natural and landscaped surroundings as the impetus for this year’s outdoor exhibition. Selected artists will incorporate work along the trail for viewing by the public.
Guest curator Colin C Boyd selected site-specific works by artists Dari Blythe, Haley Kean, Michelle Leftheris, Whitney Ramage, Joe Schine, Ilya Sobol, and Josh Urso. An opening reception will be held on Sept. 7 from 5-8 p.m. Attendees will enjoy light refreshments and live music by The Plumb Bobs.
The exhibition is free and open to the public, with a self-guiding map available for visitors.
The Carving Studio and Sculpture Center is located at 636 Marble St. in West Rutland.
