Sculpture workshops are co-sponsored by the Saint-Gaudens Memorial and the Saint-Gaudens National Historical Park (SGNHP). The classes are taught by the Sculptor-in-Residence. This program was initiated by the Memorial in 1969 and is the oldest artist residency in the National Park Service system.
Sculptor-in-Residence Davis Fandiño
Davis Fandiño is a professional sculptor living and working in Bentonville, Arkansas. He began his artistic studies as an apprentice in sculpture studios before moving to Los Angeles to work as a sculptor in the film special-effects industry, spending months between projects working in stone-carving studios in Carrara, Italy and sculpting portraits. He now has a personal studio practice where he is working towards creating a body of work that encompasses all his experiences and studies over the past 20 years and looks forward to his time at the park contributing towards this endeavor
During the summer months, workshops ranging from clay modeling and mold making to landscape painting are held regularly at the Saint-Gaudens National Historical Park and online. Programs for local youth include a weeklong STEAM camp, integrating the sciences, math, and the arts. We also support school-group visits by funding transportation grants.
