5th Annual Exhibit: Sculpture Now!
OASF’s 5th Annual Exhibit, “Sculpture Now!”, opened in 2011, and paved the way for the development of the Sculpture Garden in the Salem Convention Center plaza.
The exhibit featured five city-owned sculptures, plus seven others by artists throughout the Northwest. In addition to the work in the sculpture garden, seven paintings from the Hallie Ford Museum of Art‘s permanent collection were displayed indoors.
This installment of the Mayor’s Oregon Artists Series was initially open to the public for two years, but some works were purchased by the City of Salem and some loaned works remain on site today. Sculptors were paid a $750 honorarium for the initial loan of their work.

Break Dancer, Weltzin Blix

The Drummer, Robert Hess
