LORNE SCULPTURE EDUCATION PROGRAM
Lorne’s unique location provides a regional opportunity to advance public awareness of art, to make it more
accessible and to demonstrate the stimulation gained from art in public places.
LS2011 education program aims to expand skills, knowledge and appreciation of sculpture as a visual art
form, educate audiences of all ages, create and encourage informed debate about sculpture within the art
realm, and encourage people to become engaged in regional art.
