This summer, Brookgreen is proud to display the National Sculpture Society’s 75th Annual Awards Exhibition from June 28 through August 24. There will be 56 works in the exhibit with a range of material from bronze and stainless steel to marble, wood and cast glass. Brookgreen will again hold its People’s Choice Awards when those who visit the exhibit will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite work of art. The People’s Choice winners will be announced on August 23 at a members’ reception. A catalog of the exhibit will be available for sale in Keepsakes. The exhibit is free with regular admission to the gardens. The 2008 Brookgreen Gardens People’s Choice Award was won by The Diver, a sculpture by Stephen H. Smith of Marshville, NC.  He attended the reception Saturday evening and accepted his award.
