About this Event

Sculptor Bruce Johnson grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and studied art at the University of California, Davis in the 60's. Despite his rural location, in Sonoma County, Johnson found international recognition with large- scale sculpture in Italy, Spain and Taiwan and many private and public collections in the U.S.A.

Johnson often worked with massive pieces of salvaged redwood, embellished with copper details. Every copper or wood surface has a unique and deliberate texture.

Johnson's redwood and copper piece, Sculpture Jam is coming to SLOMA's lawn in collaboration with the City of San Luis Obispo's Public Art Program! Join us Friday, January 30th at 12pm for our ribbon cutting ceremony.
