For this inagural sculpture exhibition the Dwight-Englewood School, along with parent and curator Kathy Leventhal, collaborated with the New York Sculptor’s Guild to bring 4 more sculptures to campus for the 2011-2012 academic year. This loan is in addition to the 3 outdoor sculptures already adding to the beauty of the idyllic campus setting.
