The Boreal Sculpture Garden was founded by sculptor Luben
Boykov and environmentalist John Evans in 1995. It is located on 6.5 acres
of pasture, forest, bog, and ponds near St. John’s Newfoundland.
Enclosed within the area of the sculpture garden is a lost
wax, bronze casting foundry. Studio space, equipped for wood, stone, and
metal sculpting, is also part of this complex. The foundry and studio
are unusual in that they are designed to be environmentally friendly.
The decision to launch the "Boreal Sculpture Garden"
project was motivated by the need to find a suitable permanent display
space for the work of Luben and visiting artists. Luben’s large scale
organic abstract sculpture is inspired by the northern boreal environment.
We felt that the best place to show these works, from an aesthetic and
practical point of view, was outdoors on the land itself.
Through our visiting artist program, we invite sculptors
from around the world to share our facilities and experience the unique
Newfoundland culture and landscape. We serve the arts community by giving
annual bronze casting workshops and by casting the work of artists.
