Studio Place Art presents Rock Solid XXII, an annual stone sculpture exhibit that has been put on since 2000. The exhibit showcases the work of 20 sculptors whose work in stone is able to bring out all of the qualities of the medium — from delicate flowing sculptures that turn stone into something that looks as soft as silk to rough pieces that emphasize the rugged nature of the material. The gallery is open Wednesday to Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Studio Place Art is located at 201 North Main Street, Barre, VT. For more information, please visit here. | |
