“NATIONAL SCULPTORS’ GUILD HEADED TO INAUGURAL SCULPTURE INVITATIONAL IN
LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS
Monday, October 1, 2007 Saturday and Sunday sculpture by members of the National Sculptors’
Guild [N.S.G.] were loaded onto the trucks headed for Little Rock, Arkansas where the N.S.G. is cosponsoring
the inaugural /Sculpture at the River Market/ sculpture invitational. With the help of our
crane specialist CJ Boom Service one forty-two foot [42’] flatbed truck from Eisenman Enterprise was
covered with Monumental Sculpture by Noon Saturday. The rest of the sculpture by the 15-member
guild was loaded by some of the artists into a twenty-six-foot [26’] long covered truck. With the
addition of two GMC Denali’s and a trailer there was not an inch to spare, as over 400 sculptures by
N.S.G. members will be exhibited. The convoy left early this morning and will arrive Wednesday to
begin unloading for the show. All Guild members are participating and will be present at the show in
Little Rock.
Little Rock residents and visitors alike will have the opportunity to see and purchase works by
leading sculptors when the first annual /Sculpture at the River Market/ Invitational Show and Sale
takes place from October 5-7, 2007. Admission is free. The sale and show is sponsored by the City of
Little Rock and the National Sculptors’ Guild. Proceeds from the sale of artwork will benefit the
Riverfront Park and the City of Little Rock River Market Sculpture Foundation, which is responsible
for funding the city’s public art acquisitions and the conservation of its existing art collection.
Over 750 sculptures will be on display in the River Market pavilions and in the adjacent area of
Riverfront Park on those three days in October. The works featured will include all types of media,
style, subject matter, and size. /Sculpture at the River Market /will feature the artwork of thirty-seven
[37] sculptors, including fourteen [14] from Arkansas. Additionally, six [6] students from Arkansas
universities and colleges will have pieces in the show. There will be two purchase prizes awarded.

outside of Arkansas.

Representing some of the nations leading sculptors, painters and fine artisans Columbine Galleries
and the National Sculptors’ Guild have consulted private and public collectors in the placement of
fine art for the interior and exterior since 1992. The National Sculptors' Guild is an association made
up of a design team and nationally recognized sculptors chosen for their outstanding artistic abilities
and varied style with the primary objective to conceive and seek out monumental placements for
members' work. Columbine Galleries serves as headquarters and home to the NSG and its’ sculpture
garden, featuring some of the nation's finest sculptures.
We place work under the preface that fine art purchases should not be viewed as financial
investments rather investments for the soul. Our Galleries provide a tranquil atmosphere for art
appreciators wishing to reduce the external details of the world and indulge in the true essence of art
~ a world of visual play and internal moods. We invite you to allow the Guild and Gallery to assist in
enhancing your art experience! Open Mon-Sat 10-5, Sun by appointment. Loveland, Colorado (2683
N Taft Avenue, (SW of Benson Sculpture Park)
