Sculpting Our Heroes

The first Salmagundi bust competition sustains a long tradition of talented sculptors honoring their esteemed forerunners in clay and bronze. Fine Art Connoisseur editor-in-chief Peter Trippi considers the club’s exciting new initiative within the contexts of both art history and the contemporary art scene.

This panel will feature a conversation between Peter Trippi, this year's winning sculptor Heather Personett, and other fellow sculptors. Before the discussion, there will be a meet & greet reception in the parlor. Drinks will be available for purchase at our bar (no cash).
