After the Pedestal

Now in its 10th year, the Sculpture Center’s annual After the Pedestal juried exhibition showcases recent sculptures by local and regional artists. Open to all regional sculptors, works must be no larger than 3 feet in any dimension, and no more than 3 years old. This year’s juror is Steve Locke, an African-American artist exploring the male figure and its perception through sculpture, drawing, painting and installation, as well as themes of masculinity, homosexuality and violence against African Americans. After the Pedestal opens with a reception from 5:30 to 8 p.m. today and remains on view through August 4. At 6:30 p.m., Locke and some of the selected artists will give remarks about the exhibition and their work. Tomorrow night, Locke will participate in the Sculpture Center’s third Cleveland Sculptors Network panel, Unfettered: Artists Who Work Across Media. Admission is free. (Usmani)
