The Rosen Sculpture Competition and Exhibition is an annual national juried competition presented by the Turchin Center for the Visual Arts on the campus of Appalachian State University and brings an astonishing array of contemporary sculpture to the campus and community each season. To celebrate the 35th anniversary of this dynamic program, join competition juror Rachel Stevens on an educational outdoor tour of the nine sculptures from this year’s competition, with an additional sculpture available for viewing at the Blowing Rock Art & History Museum. The tour concludes with an outdoor reception adjacent to the Schaefer Center and will include a tribute to the Rosen family, a reflection on the 35th anniversary and an awards presentation. Made possible by the continued support and generosity of the Rosen Family.
