Thank you to all the sculptors who pre-registered in Loveland, CO for the 2010 RiverSpan Sculpture Exhibition & Sale. As many of you already know, the RiverSpan sculpture only exhibition is held on the deck of the Purple People Bridge, which spans the Ohio River between the Cincinnati riverfront and the Northern Kentucky entertainment district. This past June, despite the economic woes of the world, we held our second annual exhibition, hosting eighty sculptors from 4 continents, 5 nations and 26 American states. Forty-eight percent of the sculptors sold work during this past summmer’s event and most all have voiced their desire to be juried in for an opportunity to return. Once again, RiverSpan’s guests were awed by the broad scope of style, genre and media and amazed by the degree of talent on display. Many of the artists contend that RiverSpan is the “must do” sculpture event for the next decade. I strongly encourage you to submit your works to be considered for the 2010 RiverSpan Sculpture event.
