Sculptureworks, Inc. "Touching Leaves . . ." Sculpture
Show and Sale
August/September 2003
Danville , IL

In the fall of 2003, the City of Danville, along with the Danville Area Convention and Visitors Bureau, The Fischer Theatre, the Danville Public Library, and The Heron Restaurant hosted the Sculptureworks, Inc. "Touching Leaves . . ." Sculpture Show and Sale.

The City of Danville purchased a sculpted brick mural entitled "Danville, U.S.A.", creating a city park space at Temple Plaza in downtown Danville, in order to initiate the show. "Danville U.S.A." was unveiled on August 1, 2003.

The show presented more than 300 works of sculpture by the Sculptureworks, Inc. consortium of artists. The works were successfully displayed inside of The Heron Restaurant, The Fischer Theatre, the Danville Public Library, The Heartland Center, Temple Plaza, and along Vermilion Street.

Several artists were at the show to conduct lectures and workshops free to the public. Throughout the week, Paul Oestreicher helped Sculptureworks, Inc. to teach clay classes to 981 schoolchildren from the Danville area. Paul also held several slide show presentations discussing his inspirations in sculpting "Touching Leaves Woman", which was selected as the poster icon for the show.
