4,000 Pound Sculpture

From Bihl Haus Arts

Dear Friends of Bihl Haus Arts,

Some very exciting news! Bihl Haus Arts has been gifted an astounding 4000 pound sculpture!

And we want to share the excitement with YOU! Please join us at Bihl Haus Arts on Saturday, May 2nd, 2-4 pm, for the ribbon cutting and unveiling of "Highway," a brand new monumental sculpture (and yes, it does weigh 4000 pounds!) by James Hetherington (www.JHetherington.com). There will also be a talk by the artist--his work is on exhibit inside and outside the gallery.

Highway is being permanently installed this week on the Primrose property. It is made possible by the generous gift of art patrons Anthony C. and Melissa Pearson. We'll cut the ribbon--some local dignitaries will be on hand to help us with those pesky scissors--at 2:30 pm and then enjoy BBQ, beer, and highway (!) cake.

We look forward to seeing you at this marvelous event and singular addition to both our ‘hood and to the Old Spanish Trail Auto Highway. See you at Bihl Haus on Saturday!
