8.6.17 Sculpture in the Wild

Sculpture in the Wild in Lincoln, Montana...  All of these works are reactions to the land, the space, the environment, the history of the area. International artists in residency with MFA students from U of M. It was fascinating to see and hear about how the community has been engaged in creating this park, supporting it, sustaining it, interacting with it. Kudos to the board, especially to Becky Garland, its president.
