KRASL’S COLLECTION JOINS THE BIENNIAL

As Krasl Art Center’s grounds were under construction summer 2018 as part of its Sculpting Community project, KAC’s permanent collection moved offsite and joined the Biennial Sculpture Invitational in the community. New surroundings for familiar artworks provided fresh contexts, encouraged seeing the works anew, and celebrated over 35 years of collecting sculpture.
