About the Curator's Circle
The Curator’s Circle is a group of Brookgreen members interested in Brookgreen’s special connections with sculptors, galleries, and collectors of American art. The Curator's Circle is invited to special programs and events and to travel with Brookgreen’s Curator, Robin Salmon.
Robin R. Salmon, Brookgreen’s Vice President of Art and Historical Collections and Curator of Sculpture, leads the Curator’s Circle, planning its annual trip and calendar of events, securing featured speakers, and conducting behind-the-scenes programs, special exhibition tours, and visits to artists’ studios and private art collections.
Your contribution to the Curator's Circle will gain you invitations to see behind-the-scenes of our nation’s premier American figurative sculpture collection at Brookgreen Gardens, the first public sculpture garden in America and the largest collection of American figurative sculpture displayed in an outdoor setting, as well as in several indoor galleries located within Brookgreen’s historic property.
Among the special events and art-related programs the Curator’s Circle will enjoy are;
• Private curator-led or artist-led tours of select special exhibitions
• Meet-the-Artist receptions with prominent sculptors
• Invitation to Annual Curator’s Circle events with distinguished guests
• Invitation to join the Annual Curator’s Circle trip to art destinations (additional charge) and curator-led tours to visit artists’ studios and private art collections
• Salons on a range of art-related topics, including art collecting and connoisseurship
Your Chairman’s Council, Huntington Society or Atalaya Council membership will provide access to Curator’s Circle. Upper level membership support makes it possible for Brookgreen to provide sustainable funding for art exhibitions, lectures, and workshops. Your membership supports and enhances Brookgreen Gardens' Art Collections program.
