Sue Quinlan to be Honored at Benson Sculpture Garden

On July 12^th, a sculpture by long-time Boulder resident Sue Quinlan will be dedicated as a permanent part of Benson Sculpture Garden in Loveland, Colorado.  Currently, over 140 pieces of sculpture valued at more than $4 million grace the grounds of the park. This extraordinary collection of art is situated around a lagoon surrounded by natural habitat areas. With the Rocky Mountains as a majestic backdrop, Benson Sculpture Garden has been described as "one of the most unique sculpture gardens in the nation". Quinlan’s selected piece, ‘Cultural Pedestrians,’ is part of a series of free-standing concrete and steel pillars that have previously been shown at the Longmont Museum & Cultural Center and in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and several are currently located outside the Boulder Public Library. For 13 years, Quinlan has been a participant in the prestigious Sculpture in the Park show, now in its 31^st year.  This year’s show will be held August 8-10^th. Heralded as one of the finest outdoor juried exhibitions of three-dimensional artwork in the United States, Sculpture in the Park showcases over 2,000 pieces of sculpture created by 170 sculptors from around the world.
