Catherine Daley, PRS Vice President, is delighted to announce the purchase of "Aurora III" for the Permanent Collection and Exhibition at the Luther Burbank Center for the Arts in Santa Rosa, CA.

The sculpture, composed of plexiglass, aluminum, stainless steel, and powder-coated steel, is installed in the outdoor Sculpture Garden. The special event "Northern Lights" will feature illuminations of the garden and its artworks from November 17, 2023 to January 16, 2024. The event is free and open from dusk to 9:30 pm. The Sculpture Garden is at the LBC, 50 Mark West Springs Rd., Santa Rosa, CA 95403.
