Exhibition Overview
Award-winning metal sculptor Dale Rogers launched a traveling three-state exhibit of his unique 8-foot high by 10-foot long American Dog sculptures during the summer of 2009. The exhibition was on display for one week each in the Massachusetts cities of Beverly, Lowell, Haverhill and Newburyport; Portsmouth, NH and Ogunquit, ME
Residents and visitors encountered a gathering of 20 compelling, larger-than-life 'American Dog' sculptures that were accessible to everyone. "Adding sculpture to public landscapes can inspire people of all ages. I want my art to invoke a thought, generate conversation and create a strong connection for people who view it," Rogers says. "Historically dogs have made positive and lasting impressions with people, I hope the American Dog sculptures and The Big Dog Show will do the same."
New England's largest solo sculpture exhibit represented more than two years of planning and creation and was privately funded. It is part of Roger's broader vision to launch a 100-dog traveling exhibition through 8 major US cities in partnership with a growing roster of corporate and non-profit sponsors.
