Please join us to celebrate the unveiling of Danish artist Bjorn Skaarup's monumental bronze sculpture, Hippo Ballerina. The copper tutu-clad bronze sculpture stands over 15-foot tall and is Skaarup's first US public art installation. Inspired by Degas’ Little Dancer Aged Fourteen and the dancing hippos of Walt Disney’s Fantasia, Hippo Ballerina vividly illustrates Skaarup’s ability to reinterpret subjects and themes found in ancient myths, art history, modern animation, and contemporary popular culture in playful ways that are accessible to visitors at any age! Come join in the fun on Feb. 7!

An exhibit of 8 bronze works displayed outside the Cathedral, adjacent to the west front. Inspired by Camille Saint-Saens “Carnival of the Animals”, artist Bjørn Skaarup crafted these pieces to exude a cheerful wit and whimsy that underscore the lighter side of human association with the animal kingdom. The animals represent human allegories based on their physical and spiritual traits, drawing on art history and poetry. The use of animals and especially the sense of whimsy both resonate strongly with existing imagery found both in the Cathedral’s fabric and in the longstanding traditions of cathedral imagery.

On November 9, Notables gathered at the Cavalier Art Gallery New York for a members-only artist reception. The evening celebrated Bjørn Okholm Skaarup: Carnival of the Animals, the artist’s first solo American museum exhibition on display at the Bruce Museum. The evening was capped by a trio of Ensemble ACJW musicians who performed a tribute to the animal-themed art in the gallery, with special arrangements created for this event.  This event was made possible by the generosity of Notables Committee member Matthew Holtzman, Patrick Monahan, and the Cavalier Gallery New York.
