"Courting Sculpture" showcased sculptures in a most unique manner. Located in the original garden courtyard of the West Vancouver Memorial Library this open and refreshing space became a gallery and a learning experience to all who think that libraries are only about books. At the entrance, a large stained glass window set the mood, inside and placed amongst the flowers and small bushes was a variety of shapes and forms whose language can be read with sight and touch.

This venue iwas an excellent opportunity to discover our very own sculptors. We are thankful to have been here during the Harmony Arts Festival.  "This exhibit gave people a taste of the different artists available to them locally" said Michelle Sproule at the Library Art Gallery.
