CEDAR FALLS – The Hearst Sculpture Garden will be blooming with artists on Sunday for the Artisans in the Garden and Summer Expo.
This will be the third “al fresco art” event and exhibition in the garden. Hours are 1:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Admission is free.
“We will be exhibiting local artisans who will be exhibiting and selling their work. We like to do things outside, and this is another way to invite the public to see the sculptures and enjoy the garden,” said Sheri Huber-Otting, Hearst programs coordinator.
A community art project in the form of a quilt will be a special feature of the exhibition. Quilt artist Janet Drake designed and created the quilt from cyanotypes, or sun prints, made at the Hearst Center’s Celebration of Biological Diversity in May.
“People used foliage, leaves and other things for designs. Items were placed on 8-by-8-inch fabric squares that were coated with an emulsion. The squares were weighed and left in the sun for several hours to create the prints,” explained Huber-Otting.
