This small sculpture garden is under snow at the moment. The Saint Francis of Assisi statue has been moved to the location shown in the photos. I have included both summer and winter photos, since I really enjoy this piece.
Literature regrading the opening of the sculpture garden states:
"On Sunday, Sept.25, ABA member Foothills Art Center celebrated the grand opening of its Carol and Don Dickinson Sculpture Garden with a free family picnic and garden festival. Designed by an esteemed trio of professionals — including renowned granite sculptor Jesús Moroles, landscape architect Susan Saarinen and architect Ted Schultz — the
sculpture garden is a unique and artful addition to the landscape of Foothills Art Center.
The grand opening was the first opportunity for the public to see the newly installed “granite Aspens” carved specifically for this project by sculptor Jesús Moroles. The sculptures were installed and immediately covered for unveiling during the special opening weekend.
The $300,000 Dickinson Sculpture Garden offers many benefits for Foothills Art Center and the Golden community, including increased accessibility for people of all abilities, improved safety, an enhanced and expanded area for outdoor programs and events, and the addition of another urban garden and outdoor sculpture gallery in downtown Golden."
