Held Rain or Shine
When the Caldwell Arts Council held its first Sculpture Celebration in 1985, few could have imagined that it would continue today. Held annually on the Saturday after Labor Day at the Broyhill Walking Park in Lenoir, NC, the nationally recognized event draws sculptors, mostly who live east of the Mississippi, in competition for $11,000 in cash awards and potential sales.
The event is free to the public and opens to thousands of people who come to take in the beautiful grounds studded with sculpture. The event is held rain or shine and includes live music, on-site food trucks, and free shuttle service to and from off-site parking.
For questions or further information, feel free to email us or call 828-754-2486.
Check back for the lists of bands and food vendors, exhibiting sculptors, and 2024 sponsors.
