It has become the tradition each year in January for the Museum to introduce a new Artist in Residence program to Coral Springs to create a major sculpture for the Sculpture Garden.
Peter King, renowned architectural ceramicist, and Xenia Marin, Professor of Ceramics at the University of Costa Rica collaborated to create a monumental "Gateway to Peace" for the Peace Garden. Marin an expert in ceramic instruments added elements to the sculpture that brings sound to the piece as the wind moves through the sculpture. The husband and wife team worked on the grounds of the Museum and in the Museum’s clay studio with volunteers to build the gateway.
The public wasable to watch Peter & Xinia work on the gateway Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday 10am to 4pm in the Museum.
Inside the Museum was an exhibition of some of King and Marin’s work. Peter showcased his large, impressive fireplaces, doorways and building accents and Marin exhibited her delicate wind instruments and sculptures. The exhibition also highlighted the process of the project – what is the creative process and how does it work. King and Marin also conducted clay workshops for artists and children during their time at the Museum.
