Eight new sculpture works will join โ€œIn Contemplation Of Peaceโ€ by Raymonde Zlotnikoff, above, and 40 other pieces at the Tucson Jewish Community Centerโ€™s sculpture garden.

The Tucson Jewish Community Center is adding eight more works to its sculpture garden, and is marking the occasion with โ€œA Celebration of Sculptureโ€ event this Sunday, Oct. 23.

The garden is one of Tucsonโ€™s best kept secrets when it comes to visual arts. Launched in 2009, it serves as a creative oasis, with more than 40 pieces on display of all shapes and sizes created by local, national and international artists.

Sculpture by Pamela Ambrosio, Curt Brill, Gedion Nyanhongo, Hector Ortega, Joan Waters and Nan Wollman will join the collection.

The centerโ€™s indoor fine art gallery will also hold an opening with more than 20 works by 12 local artists on display.

โ€œA Celebration of Sculptureโ€ will run from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and will include artist talks, live music and performances from ZUZI! and Esperanza Dance.

The event is free and open to the public. The sculpture garden at the center, 3800 E. River Road, is also free and open to the public during the centerโ€™s normal business hours. Visit tucsonjcc.org for more information.
