Sculpture is becoming more prominent in Blowing Rock NC with a new sculpture arriving almost yearly now!  Here is sculpture walk guide for Blowing Rock North Carolina:

Jessie Blowing Rock Library Sculpture

"Jessie"

Blowing Rock Public Library

Rightfully located in front of the Blowing Rock Library is "Jessie," a young girl reading a storybook. The bronze statue was created by Charlotte sculptor Cantey T. Kelleher and donated to the library by the Tomlinson family in honor of Grace Carr, a longtime librarian in Blowing Rock.

Many days you will see children (and adults) sitting on the bench with Jessie having a photo made!

Daingerfield Sculpture Blowing Rock NC

"Elliott Daingerfield en plein air" 

Edgewood Cottage, Blowing Rock

The full size bronze sculpture was created by local artist Brenda Councill in honor of Daingerfield's legacy. The cottage was Daingerfield's summer workshop and home.

Edgewood Cottage is now home to rotating artists during the warmer months. Many days in the summer, artists can be found on the porch painting just like Daingerfield once would have.
