Maryhill Museum of Art has presented exhibitions of outdoor sculpture annually since 1996. In 2012, four sculptors will loan works to complement the 12 sculptures that make up the museum's permanent collection. The borrowed works will be located throughout the museum grounds and provide a dramatic outdoor art experience. These exhibitions have provided Pacific Northwest sculptors with opportunities to display large scale works in an outdoor setting. The sculptures will be installed throughout the museum's sculpture garden, which provides a dramatic backdrop for this unique outdoor art experience.
