ABOUT FRESH AIR SCULPTURE

Set up by art collectors, Lucy and David Abel Smith, the first Fresh Air Sculpture was held in the Quenington Old Rectory gardens in 1992. Acclaim for the show’s originality and innovative mixture of traditional, modern and cutting-edge outdoor sculpture has grown year by year and Fresh Air Sculpture is now an established and much anticipated fixture in the art events calendar. Fresh Air Sculpture became a charitable trust, under Quenington Sculpture Trust, in 1997.

Congratulations Sally! We’re thrilled to hear th Congratulations Sally! We’re thrilled to hear that you’ve won this award @typawb We hope you’re well on your way to a full recovery. #Repost @decourcysally with @use.repost ・・・ Delighted to have been awarded the Peoples Prize by Ty Pawb in Wrexham Wales for their recent exhibition, Growing Together, which ended after three months on the 7th January. The work Migrant Crossings uses contextual objects to represent the escalating crisis of refugees crossing the English Channel in small boats. In my previous career I was exposed to the suffering of refugees and therefore to win this award means everything to me. It was a privilege to take part in this fantastic exhibition with so many outstanding artists. Many thanks to all the hard-working team at Ty Pawb to make the exhibition happen. Soon after this photo of me at the private view with my work Migrant Crossings, I had an accident falling 120 feet down a mountain ravine in Snowdonia, Wales. So this award has especially meant a lot . Thank you so much Ty Pawb . I am recovering and I am very excited about the prospect of getting back into the studio to make some smaller works soon. #artprize #artaward #finearts#instaartist#modernartist #artistsoninstagramfollowme#abstractionart #artists #art #emergingartists #contemporaryartist #contemporaryartist #sculpturestudio #sculpture #sculptureart #thankyouNHS #lamberrismountainrecue
