This year's lineup for the annual Outdoor Sculpture Exhibition at Unison Arts and Learning Center may be the largest in its 12-year history, with close to 50 pieces installed by 40 artists. An invitational show featuring the works of both established and emerging artists, the exhibit is arranged in a woodland garden that includes a fishpond with waterfall and a rock meditation labyrinth: a truly magical setting through which visitors are invited to wander free of charge.

Several new artists will show works for the first time, including Susan Togut, Alfredo Cardenas, Norman Tinker, Jim Murray, Robert Winkler and Roger Prince.

This Sunday, June 13 an opening reception will be held from 3 to 6 p.m., with a special walk-through with the artists beginning at 4:30. Bring a picnic basket, enter the Torii Gate and step into an unmatched visual landscape.
