  Description: In October the Meadows Museum will inaugurate its new plaza and sculpture garden, unveil a major acquisition, Sho, by Jaume Plensa, and launch a celebration of the Elizabeth Meadows Sculpture Collection with the exhibition Face and Form: Modern and Contemporary Sculpture in the Meadows Collection. To provide additional perspective, the Meadows will feature two exhibitions in the downstairs galleries illustrating the fascinating processes used by contemporary artists Jaume Plensa and Santiago Calatrava in the creation of their monumental sculptures on display in the Meadows outdoor spaces. Both works required teams of specialists and utilized a combination of 21st-century technology and impeccable craftsmanship, resulting in meticulously engineered final works of art. The exhibitions will include drawings, watercolors, photographs and other materials highlighting both the creative and construction processes involved.
