“Many vignerons like to think that their vineyard has special qualities, but in this instance the belief is well-based.” James Halliday www.rosby.com.au2 Welcome to Rosby Vineyard and to Sculptures in the Garden for 2019. For the 9th year in a row the Norton-Knight family have worked tirelessly to showcase artists, both local and from many parts of Australia, who display their considerable talent for our enjoyment and benefit. The Rosby garden, like much of New South Wales and this area, is suffering from the prolonged dry spell but still manages to inspire us with its beauty and evidence of care and hard work. This year I welcome to Mudgee Stephen King, an internationally renowned sculptor and previous winner of Sculpture by the Sea. Stephen will open Sculptures in the Garden at 11am on Saturday and will talk about his prolific career. I also welcome Nick Vickers, an art expert and enthusiast who will join Stephen King to form part of the selection panel to select three works that will join the Sculpture Walk in Lawson Park. Bradley Hammond, Orange Regional gallery director, joins us as well to discuss the progress and benefits of the proposed Mid- Western Regional Art Gallery. Mid-Western Regional Council is proud to join with Sculptures in the Garden to fund the joint $25,000 acquisition prize. The Moolarben Coal Prize of $5,000 and the Friends of Sculptures in the Garden $10,000 prize will also be announced on Saturday morning. I thank these sponsors and acknowledge the part they play in the continued development of the Sculpture Walk and the interest and enjoyment it brings to locals and tourists who get to see sculptures displayed in a beautiful and natural outdoor setting. The local branch of Guide Dogs NSW/ACT will be parking cars, manning the gate and catering for visitors again this year. I would like to congratulate them on their dedication to raising funds for such a worthwhile cause each year. We must not forget the organisers of SIG for Kids and the work they have done in encouraging children from all over the district to display creativity and fun and to be so involved in this event. Finally, to the Norton-Knight family, the committee of SIG, their helpers and volunteers, I would like to say thank you and well done. We all warmly welcome and thank the artists for supporting this event and for their creativity that brings so much enjoyment and artistic awareness to all who visit Rosby Vineyard and garden this weekend. I sincerely hope you all – workers, visitors, artists – have an enjoyable and successful weekend.

Lawson Park in Mudgee is a beautiful, tranquil and peaceful setting that plays host to a magnificent sculpture walk showcasing artwork from the Sculptures in the Garden exhibition.
The sculpture walk came to be after Sculptures in the Garden (SIG) founder, Kay Norton-Knight, along with the exhibition committee, proposed the idea to the Mid-Western Regional Council (MWRC) who deemed it a worthy and important asset for the local community. Since 2013 SIG in conjunction MWRC has contributed 17 Sculptures to the Lawson Park Sculpture Walk and MWRC’s Public Art Collection.
The creation of the sculpture walk and continuining contribution to MWRC’s Public Art Collection for the benefit of the community is one of the main reasons why the SIG exhibition continues to take place.
