NINTH ANNUAL INDOOR SCULPTURE SHOW MAY 1 – JUNE 12, 2010

On May 1, New Hope Arts Center will open its doors to the 9 Annual Juried Indoor
Sculpture Show, presenting 50 artworks by 32 sculptors – large and small, carved or
fabricated – in marble and limestone, wood and steel, glass and ceramic, fiber and found
objects, mixed media and installations.

A Patrons’ Preview Party will be held that Saturday evening of May 1 from 7 to 9 PM,
with tickets available for $20 either in advance or at the door. Choice refreshments will
be served.

Following long-standing tradition, open submissions received from many areas of the
country were carefully reviewed by the Selections Committee, consisting of locally
prominent sculptor Wendy Wilkinson Gordon and Christine Ramirez , the Gallery
Manager at New Hope Arts.

Artworks were then presented to the jurors’ panel, made up this year of Mrs. Gordon;
internationally-known sculptor John Goodyear of Lambertville, Professor Emeritus and
former Chair of the Visual Arts Department at Rutgers University; and Kathryn Graves
of Morrisville, current Administrative Coordinator of Trent House Association in
Trenton, following many years of experience in sculpture fabrication and installation.

The resulting 50 sculptures include works by artists shown in previous New Hope Arts
Sculpture Shows: Steve Flom of Maple Shade NJ with a trio of sensuous and
introspective women in marble and limestone; Kevin Forest of Buckingham, with 2
mysterious and imaginative bronzes, and the must-see steel-and-wood “Pleasantly 
Hostile” sculpture;  John McDevitt of New Hope with 2 works in steel, poetic variations 
on his iconic style;  the towering “King of New Hope,” a found-wood assemblage by
Adam Capone, recently relocated to Lambertville; Louis Pruitt of Ottsville, with a strong
“faux bronze” entry constructed of lightweight mixed material; and the large installation 
“Fast Forward” and smaller “Low Tech Mystic,” a pedestal diptych, by Frances Heinrich 
of Princeton.

Etta Winigrad of Paoli is welcomed again this year with two entries in her patented (and
popular) smoked clay style, “Birdman” and “Hidden III.”

Returning after an absence of several years is Nancy Kay Anderson of Lambertville,
presenting a duo of intricate works woven from such materials as white pine bark, silk,
waxed linen and metallic thread.

Among the sculptors exhibiting at New Hope Arts for the first time are: Margarita Leon
of Princeton with two sculptures using such elements as copper, clay, resin and eggshell
– “Con rembo y confianza “ and “Miendo aguantado;  Leora Brecher of Wycote, PA with
her spiral shell-like clay Reclining Figures; and Simone Spicer of Wyndmoor, PA, with
her heroic and striking “Soldier” constructed from cardboard and rubble.

Following the opening reception, the exhibition will open to the public at noon on
Sunday, May 2, and continue through June 12, 2010.

The New Hope Arts Center is located at the corner of Bridge Street and Stockton Avenue
in New Hope. The Gallery is open Thursday-Sunday from 12-5 for the duration of the
exhibit.
