American Heroes in Bronze: The Artwork of James E. Kelly

This new exhibit explores the work of Irish-American sculptor James E. Kelly (1855-1933). In the decades following the American Civil War, over forty Union Generals visited the New York City studio of Kelly, who was highly respected for his artwork’s historical accuracy. While the war heroes sat, the artist conducted in-depth interviews regarding their wartime service, and heard their very personal stories of Fort Sumter, Antietam, Gettysburg, and Appomattox.

Terry Andrews Glass and Copper Sculpture Exhibition

On view at The Singing Stone is the artwork of Terry Andrews, a native Floridian from the Tampa area who's artwork includes contemporary copper and fused glass sculptures. The fusing work is done in a kiln, then used as accent pieces on the formed, cut and welded copper structures. Some are then decorated with lamp-work glass to create a whimsical and unique treasure. These vibrant and dimensional art pieces are designed as wall sculptures or table top pieces for both indoor and outdoor display.
