Bob and I used our tickets to Brookgreen Gardens again today to visit the indoor galleries that we hadn’t visited earlier. We visited four small galleries and were also able to see some outdoor statues that we hadn’t seen earlier since we walked a different route.
The first gallery we visited was the Brenda and Dick Rosen Gallery, where they were showcasing (along with items from their permanent collection) the National Sculpture Society Annual Awards Exhibition for the 26th year. These sculptures are for sale, so I’ve included the asking price where I have it just in case you’re interested in making a purchase.

Norwegian rose marble, not for sale
The second gallery that we visited was the Offner Sculpture Center, which the volunteer working there described as their storage gallery, as it allows them to display the portion of their holdings that they can’t place on the grounds for various reasons. In this gallery, we were also able to watch a film of Richard McDermott Miller creating a sculpture, and we finally found a big head for Bob.
They have a large collection of medals, which I wouldn’t necessarily thought of as sculpture, but it does seem to be a different type of sculpture.
The third gallery we visited was the Bleifield Gallery. This one was all sculptures of animals — mostly birds.
basswood, walnut, steel, and oil paint, 1987.
The last gallery we walked to, the Noble and Jennewein Galleries, didn’t have an exhibit, but was showing an overview film about the creation of Brookgreen Gardens. We always an enjoy a good overview film. On the walk to these galleries, we saw more outdoor sculptures.
Also new today, a group of at least 50 people were doing yoga in one of the gardens this morning. It was the perfect setting. It’s just a lovely, serene place to spend some time.
