Sculpture Garden Overview
Rob Schouten Gallery Sculpture Garden
Grand Opening!
​Located directly next to the gallery, out little gem of a garden houses the work of some of Whidbey Island’s finest sculptors. Seventeen pieces by the following artists: Georgia Gerber (3), Sharon Spencer (3), Dan Freeman (2),  Dale Reiger (2), Sue Taves, Lloyd Whannell, Richard Nash, Robert Adamson, Lane Thompkins, Penelope Crittenden, and Woody Morris, with 1 each, are displayed in an attractive garden setting. Each sculpture has been given ample room to be enjoyed individually, while collectively forming a place of beauty, tranquility and respite from the daily endeavors of life. 

Benches and sitting rocks invite the viewers to linger and relax. We were able to save a number of old established roses, ferns and other perennials, and have added beautiful evergreen shrubs, perennials and flower bulbs to ensure year round color and fragrance.  

To celebrate, the gallery’s indoor exhibition will also feature the work of these fine artists in an impressive display of bronze, steel and stone sculptures.
​
Please join us for our Opening Reception on Saturday, October 5, from 5 to 7 PM in conjunction with Langley’s First Saturday Art Walk. Many of our gallery artists will be in attendance, and light refreshments will be served.
