The Simply Elemental Show has provided an outdoor public art experience surrounded by a beautiful garden setting. This outdoor sculpture show calls for artists to create and exhibit garden sculptures for the public’s enjoyment. This show is for anyone who wishes to create and display art for others to enjoy! The only requirement is that the art be family friendly and be able to withstand two months in the elements.
