Help us “MAKE THE DOG BARK”!

Funds are being raised for an acquisition of a new permanent Greg Reuter sculpture. Once acquired, the 7 ft tall x 11 ft long x 4 ft wide bronze dog sculpture will be placed in the Patricia Bennett Moore Sculpture Garden.

To date, $70,000 of $100,000 has been raised.

“Over the past five decades, Greg Reuter has been tantalizing audiences across the globe with witty and thought-provoking ceramic and metal sculptures that depict a lifelong fascination with flora and fauna,” said Luis Purón, executive director for RCA. “For his second solo exhibition at Rockport Center for the Arts, he celebrates man’s best friend, specifically a street dog he saw while traveling through Espinazo (Backbone), Nuevo León in Mexico. A huge dog lover, Reuter has created different representations of the domestic animal for many years, in different sizes, and using various materials — including cast iron fabricated in molds at iron pours. This fascination has led to a new sculpture project for the new facility that will become a celebrated feature in the Sculpture Garden. We hope the entire community will help Make the Dog Bark at Rockport Center for the Arts.”
