New Hope Arts is expanding the Outdoor Sculpture Project celebrating 20 years of its commitment to public art.
For the 20th anniversary, the renamed Public Sculpture Program is on the move. The latest installation, Harry Gordon’s “Axis Mundi,” landed Sunday, March 5, hosted by First National Bank of Newtown’s Solebury branch at 408 Lower York Road, New Hope.
The massive stone and bronze artwork was installed by Gordon Sculpture of Lambertville, N.J., with a second larger crane provided by Andrew Logan of Sky Boom Service of Brooklyn, N.Y.
Public sculpture in New Hope, begun in 2003 with an initiative by New Hope Art’s founder Robin Larsen and other supportive New Hope residents, is distinguished as one of the first public art programs in the region.
New Hope Arts administers the program, chaired and supported by Pamm Kerr, New Hope resident. Additional placements and site sponsorships are available. For information see newhopearts.org and sculptureproject.org.
