South Plaza Sculpture Exhibit
May 3rd - September 3rd 2007
The
2nd Annual South Plaza Sculpture Exhibit opened during the Celebrate Main Street Festival
and will run through Labor Day this fall. All the sculptures are temporarily on loan through the generosity
of each artist.
For the second year,
the City of Dillon has received a $1,000.00 quarterly SC Arts Commission grant to mount the exhibition. The SC Arts Commission grant was funded in part by a gift from
the John and Susan Bennett Memorial Arts Fund of the Coastal Community Foundation of South Carolina.
In conjunction with the sculpture exhibit, the
City of Dillon sponsored an Artist in Residence for the Dillon High School. The nationally known installation artist, Janet Orselli,
worked with the students. Artist in Residence
Curator, Wim Roefs, Director
of if ART, International Fine Arts Services and Gallery, Columbia, SC, has selected each piece to enrich the
experience of the sculpture for citizens and visitors alike.
Special thanks and great appreciation to Jerry Owens, Montone Trailers, for providing the transportation
for all the sculptures and fabrication of the bases and to Burt Rogers and the City of Dillon Street Crew
for sculpture installation.
There are ten large outdoor sculptures on the South Plaza:
In addition, there are indoor sculptures located in: First Bank, First Citizens Bank, The
City/County Complex and the Dunbar Library.
