The New England Sculptors Association was founded in 1948. NESA has over 150 professional sculptor members, emerging sculptors and Friends of NESA from 7 states. Although the Association has no brick and mortar presence, they partner with local galleries, museums, historical sites, and communities to bring sculpture in all its amazing forms to the public, living up to their tagline of “bringing sculptures to communities”. LexArt, under the leadership of new Executive Director Matthew Siegal, has reinvigorated and expanded its mission of community arts and so found a partnership with NESA a natural fit. Siegal contacted Elisa Adams, the president of NESA,and invited NESA to host a show. Summer Surprise will feature contemporary sculpture created exclusively by NESA members. The exhibition will be open from July 16th through August 7th. The exhibition was juried by fellow local sculptors and LexArt patrons, Alison Lauriat and Molly Nye, along with Matthew Siegel. It includes 35 works by 23 artists, including Turkish Towel by Josie Dellenbaugh, evoking lazy summer days at the beach, and Leaves of Grass by Cassie Doyon, with the brilliant colors of the season.
