In partnership with the Canadian Museum of Civilization, the Canada Council Art Bank once again presents a selection of sculptural work in the Canada Garden of the CMC.
The works were selected from the Art Bank's collection by museum staff under the direction of the Director General Dr. Stephen Inglis in 2002 and will be on display until the fall of 2004.
The cost of mounting the exhibition is being shared by the Art Bank and the CMC.
The works are representative of sculptures from across Canada and include a variety of styles, ranging from abstract works of Robert Murray originally from British Columbia to the curvilinear fibreglass shapes of Ed Zelenak from Ontario.
