Quickly outgrown, the additional space will allow for more than a dozen sculpture placements.

The design creates a more intimate space to view smaller works within the Riverfront Park and is ideal for hosting receptions, as well as, allowing visitors to enjoy the sculptures in solitude.

 The next "In the Wings" by Jane DeDecker and Alyson Kinkade is being unveiled this year at Sculpture at the River Market in Little Rock this weekend. Since the bronze isn't out of the foundry yet, the plaster casting gave us a true blank canvas to consider... then we wondered how other's see it.... We'd love to see what colors you'd choose for the sculpture. So download/print the file and color in your dancers. (or if you're in Little Rock, stop by Jane's booth for a printout) We hope you'll take a pic and tag us (see below) your colorful tutu and use #ColorInTheWings ...one of your color schemes will be selected to inspire how the first casting of "In the Wings II" is painted. tag us on instagram /columbinegallery facebook /natlsculptguild or twitter /natlsculptguild

With a total height of 7ft and extending 10ft wide toe to toe, the sculpture will have a powerful yet graceful presence. The combination of figurative elements with abstract; the earthy tones with vibrant ones; creates a piece that has universal appeal.

Focusing on Health, Vitality, Family and Community, each passing of the sculpture shall fuel and regenerate the viewer; with emphasis on positive interaction for families and friends that speaks to multiple generations with universal appeal. The sculpture depicting young parents in sync, holding hands through their child and enjoying the child’s joy of momentary flight has added features sculpted in the wax-phase specific to this area of LaQuinta, a picnic basket, a bouquet of California Poppies and a puppy.

Our NSG sculpture placements in Little Rock like Tim Cherry's "Rabbit Reach" and Jane DeDecker's The Ties that Bind have struck a chord with Melissa Joan Hart during her visit to Arkansas. Thanks Melissa! We've placed over 30 significant public art pieces in Little Rock since 2004 when we first placed artwork there designed to lead pedestrians from downtown to the William Jefferson Clinton Presidential Center; pulling our inspiration from his 1996 Bridge to 21st Century speech we selected artwork that complements the library and surrounding themes and landscape as well as President Clinton's ideals of family, cultural diversity and looking to the future. We've loved placing artwork there ever since; designing the Vogel Schwartz Sculpture Garden and developing River Front Park and the surrounding area with Dean Kumpuris and board of the Sculpture at the River Market and the many great people from the city of Little Rock. If you haven't visited this great community - GO! #NSG #sculpture #MelissaJoanHart

The National Sculptors' Guild has worked with the City of Brighton to place a number of bronze sculptures by Fellow Jane DeDecker at the entrance of the Recreation Center on 11th Avenue, Brighton, Colorado. The pieces each speak to discovery and play, depicting youth actively interacting with nature. Jane states... “My work is a cumulative process made of my life experiences and my desire to sculpt the human form. Each piece tells a story of how it was created - every stroke supporting the narrative.” Part of Jane’s artistic genius is her ability to select a moment to which all of us can relate on a personal level. These moments span all generations, depicting a universally recognized scene. This scene may speak of the love between parent and child, the freedom of a child’s imagination or the simple dignity of everyday tasks. Each is a timeless expression of the human experience, causing us to reflect and evaluate the importance of love, relationships and achievement. - John Kinkade, Executive Director of the National Sculptors' Guild NSG Public Art Placement #213 Galileo, Lords of the Forest, Ears of Joy and Leaves of Grass  "Lords of the Forest" As in many of Jane DeDecker’s pieces with children, a prop is used. In this case, it is a log! This sculpture speaks to activity and good health.  Ears of Joy was named after a story about this boy and his dog. The story won a Pulitzer Prize.  This is one of Jane’s newest sculptures. The clump of grass holds all kinds of secrets. There is a garter snake, a butterfly, worm, caterpillar, bug and more! |
