Sculpture in the Garden

Sculpture in the Garden 2003

University of Leicester Harold Martin Botanic Garden
5th July – 20th September, daily from 10am to 4pm

The University of Leicester is pleased to present the work of a range of distinguished artists at its second international sculpture show in the Harold Martin Botanic Garden. The exhibition pays tribute to the talent and creativity of the artists, as well as displaying the vision and imagination of those entrusted with the care of the Garden. In supporting this exhibition the University is making two statements. The first is that the arts matter and that one responsibility of the University is to recognise this and ensure the best is made available to as many people as possible. The second is to reinforce the University’s relationship with the community and the region. I hope that the art and the gardens give pleasure and enlightenment to many over the summer months. Finally, I would like to thank those who have sponsored this exhibition for the benefit of us all. Professor Robert Burgess, Vice-Chancellor, University of Leicester.
