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.
Davis Fandiño is a professional sculptor working in Bentonville, Arkansas.
He began as an apprentice in sculpture studios before moving to Los Angeles to work in the film industry. His body of work encompasses twenty years of experience, including stone carving in Italy and portrait sculpture. Returning this year as Sculptor-in-Residence he looks forward to continuing teaching workshops and expanding on the concepts and work he began last year.
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.
