For Immediate Release:

SHARON LICATA PRESENTS SCULPTURE IN BLOOM
In Collaboration with the Arrangers of Dimension in Art

Sharon Licata Presents Sculpture in Bloom, an unusual collaborative exhibition combining the sculpture of Sharon Collings Licata and the floral artistry of arrangers from Dimension in Art, a Judges Study Group of the SC Garden Clubs, Inc. is in the planning stages. The show is scheduled for September 6-11, 2012 at Gallery 80808 of Vista Studios, 808 Lady Street in Columbia, S.C. with an opening reception on the 6th from 4-8 pm. Gallery hours will be 11am-5pm daily during the show.

The sculptor, Sharon Collings Licata of Vista Studios (www.vistastudios80808.com/) has invited the talented floral designers of Dimension in Art to create an artistic arrangement as their response to one of her sculptures. Dimension in Art is a group of 25 Nationally Accredited Flower Show Judges (National Garden Club, Inc.) with members from Cayce, Chapin, Chester, Columbia, Greenwood, Florence, Hopkins, Johnston, Kershaw, Lexington, Santee and Sumter. They meet monthly in Columbia to promote advanced creative expression through the study of experimentation in horticulture, floral design and allied arts.

A web site http://www.licatasculptureinbloom.blogspot.com/ has been created that the arrangers can visit to choose the sculpture that most inspires them. Once they have committed to a sculpture, the designer’s name will be posted by that image with a notation that it is “taken”. As of this date, Donna Donnelly, Janice Hull, Sammy Martin, and Pat Setzer have made their selection with more to soon follow.

We are excited to be offering an exhibition at Gallery 80808 that combines two different art forms to help “kick off’ Columbia’s Fall gallery season.
