The Sculpture Garden 2017 Celebrates Five Years of Outdoor Art Excellence. As a premier destination for sculpture enthusiasts, collectors, and garden designers alike, The Sculpture Garden 2017 marks a significant milestone in its five-year history of showcasing exceptional outdoor art exhibitions. For one weekend only, the public is invited to explore the breathtaking 148 acres of Thames riverside gardens, generously provided by the Odney Club, owned by The John Lewis Partnership. Normally reserved for private events, these stunning gardens are being opened to the public as part of the Golden anniversary Cookham Festival. To learn more about this year's festival and its rich program, please visit www.cookhamfestival.org.uk. With over 100 dynamic sculptures on display, created by an impressive roster of 30 esteemed artists, The Sculpture Garden 2017 promises to be a feast for the senses. This year's exhibition has been meticulously curated by Lucy Irvine, a renowned art expert from Barn Galleries in Henley-on-Thames (www.barngalleries.com). Each and every sculpture on display is available for purchase, making this event an exceptional opportunity for collectors and art enthusiasts alike. Cookham, a charming riverside village, holds a special place in the heart of many as it was the birthplace of the celebrated artist Stanley Spencer. Visitors to The Sculpture Garden 2017 can pay homage to his legacy by visiting the excellent Stanley Spencer Gallery (www.stanleyspencer.org.uk), which houses an impressive collection of his original paintings.
