If you head out to Lazy Daze on Saturday, be sure to stop by the Cary Town Hall Campus, where 10 sculptures have just been installed for a temporary exhibition.

Guided tours and activities surrounding the exhbition also are planned — and the sculptures themselves are even for sale.

The outdoor sculpture project is sponsored by Cary Visual Art Inc., a nonprofit group dedicated to promoting public art in Cary. It’s a juried exhibition, with participants competing for a $5,000 best-of-show prize.

Nearly 40 artists submitted 68 sculptures for the show. The 10 artists chosen are from as close as Holly Springs to Willis, Va. and will receive a $1,000 stipend.

The exhibition is being judged by Hank T. Foreman, director and chief curator of Turchin Center for the Visual Arts at Appalachian State University. “I think these works showcase the best of the diversity of styles and content entered in the exhibition,” Foreman said in a press release.

“When jurying a very open-call show like this, my general tendency is to try and select the best quality representing the diversity of entries; materials, techniques, color, scale, concepts, approaches.”

On Friday, volunteers worked to install the sculptures, which are a variety of media and most in the abstract style. The sculptures will remain on the Town Hall Campus through mid-June.

Three of the sculptures required a boom truck equipped for heavy lifting, CVA staff said.

The grand-prize winner will be announced at Lazy Daze.

For information on the exhibit, a Web site has been created, carysculpture.org.
