Sculpture Installation at the Arboretum

By Wilma Jozwiak

If you are a devotee of Landis’ Full Moon Concert series, you may have heard the name Sam Bates. Sam was one of the founding members of the Landis Arts and Entertainment Committee, and a big reason for the resurgence of musical performances at the Arboretum. Not only does Sam cut a mean figure grooving out to live music on the deck of the Meeting House, but he is also a local multimedia artist. He is known professionally as Samuel E and has sculptures on display in countries around the world.

During the month of August, Sam installed an exhibit of his large-scale sculptures at the Landis Arboretum. We are very fortunate to have these never before exhibited works on our grounds for our visitors to enjoy. Both sculptures are part of Sam’s Rusty Metal Series.

The sculpture August, created in 2009, is sited in the field below the Barn. The sculpture All There is To Be is sited along the drive into the Meeting House. For more information on Samuel E and his work, visit our website at www.landisarboretum.org or Sam’s site at www.samuelegallery.com.
