Scale: Models to Monuments
\nJune 24-September 2, 2017<\/h2>\n

This non-profit gallery connected to the historic Chandler Music Hall holds approximately eight shows per year highlighting a wide range of artists from the surrounding area who work in a variety of media.<\/p>\n

\u201cScale: Models to Monuments\u201d is curated by sculptor Jim Sardonis. Models of public sculpture accompany photographs of the finished pieces in the sites they currently occupy. Sardonis is best known for Reverence<\/em>, two tails of whales \u201cdiving\u201d into a sea of grass located on Interstate 89 just north of the Williston exit, but his impact on sculpture is felt throughout New England. Taking inspiration from natural forms, Sardonis specializes in site-specific commissions in stone and bronze. The bronze and granite Fiddleheads Bench<\/em> (image) is installed at the University of Maine at Presque Isle. A granite mother polar bear with three cubs, Vigilance<\/em>, is at the Andover Library in Massachusetts. A giant granite dog swims with a bronze stick in his mouth in a pond of grass at the North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine. In Vermont, you can see the loving, carrara marble Vermont Family<\/em> at the Gifford Medical Center in Randolph; a bronze, kneeling and peering through a telescope Samuel de Champlain<\/em> at Champlain College in Burlington; two granite hippos, Father and Son<\/em>, rest next to the famed floating bridge in Brookfield. An eight-and-a-half foot tall, carved granite statue of St. Michael honors alumni of St. Michael\u2019s College who died at the World Trade Center on 9\/11.<\/p>\n
