The Rosen Sculpture Walk will kick off at 10:00am at the Schaefer Center for the Performing Arts. After a brief welcome\, juror Sam Spiczka will lead guests on a guided tour of the 10 sculptures installed along Rivers Street. The group will then return to the Schaefer Center for the announcement of this year’s award winners\, a complimentary lunch\, and time to chat with friends about your favorite pieces. \nGuests are encouraged to wear comfortable clothing and shoes\, as the walking and standing portion lasts approximately 45–60 minutes.

Born and raised in rural Minnesota\, Spiczka became captivated by metal at an early age working in his family’s welding shop. Though he briefly studied art and philosophy at Gustavus Adolphus College in St Peter\, Minnesota\, his true education has come from nature\, the example of past sculptors\, and the craftsmanship taught to him by his father.  Spiczka’s award-winning sculptures have been exhibited internationally – including at the Seolbong International Sculpture Park in Icheon\, South Korea\, the DeCordova Museum and Sculpture Park in Lincoln\, Massachusetts\, and the Franconia Sculpture Park in Taylors Fall\, Minnesota. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The Rosen Outdoor Sculpture Competition and Exhibition is made possible by generous support from The Martin and Doris Rosen Giving Fund — courtesy of Debbie Rosen Davidson and David Rosen — and The Charles and Nancy Rosenblatt Foundation URL:https://tcva.appstate.edu/event/40th-anniversary-rosen-sculpture-walk/ LOCATION:Schaefer Center for the Performing Arts\, 733 Rivers Street\, Boone\, NC\, 28608\, United States CATEGORIES:Exhibition ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://tcva.appstate.edu/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/TCVARosenSculpture2024Eauer.10.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260714T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260714T160000 DTSTAMP:20260521T164944Z CREATED:20260518T233522Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260521T164944Z UID:10001831-1784037600-1784044800@tcva.appstate.edu SUMMARY:Summer Drop-In Artmaking DESCRIPTION:Summer Drop-In Artmaking at the Turchin Center\n\n\n\n\nJoin TCVA Intern Emily Suit on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2-4pm in the Moskowitz Gallery\n  \nDrop-in Artmaking invites visitors of all ages to use the Turchin Center’s Moskowitz Artmaking Space and experiment with different mediums.
