2015-2016
Martin & Doris Rosen
established the Rosen Outdoor Sculpture Competition Site -1- Robbie Barber (Waco, TX) & Exhibition in 1987. For the past 28 years, this nationally recognized competition has Southern Comfort served as a highlight and point of pride for Appalachian State University’s summer Welded Steel, Paint 2012 arts festival, An Appalachian Summer Festival, and has brought a remarkable array of contemporary sculpture to Boone, North Carolina. To mark the 29th season of this important program in the summer of 2015, the Rosen Sculptural Invitational will feature work curated by the Turchin Center’s curatorial Site -3- Dana Gingras (Mooresville, NC) staff in honor of Martin and Doris Rosen. A selection of artists who have participated Composition #5 in past Rosen exhibitions have been invited to submit new work for display on the Painted Steel Appalachian campus. The invitational format allows the Turchin Center to work with artists whose sculpture was especially significant and meaningful to the Rosen Family. On the occasion of the Rosen’s 50th wedding anniversary in October 1999, their children established the Martin and Doris Rosen Scholarship to assist rising junior or senior art majors at Appalachian State. The continued support and generosity of the Rosen Family has also made possible the 29th Rosen Sculpture Invitational, which promises a fascinating exploration into the world of contemporary sculpture!
