Public Art at Sertoma Art Center
Greensboro-based artist Jim Gallucci was selected in 2024 to create public artwork at Sertoma Arts Center as part of the upcoming renovation and expansion of the existing center. This project is part of the 2022 Parks Bond.
Scratch Block Workshop
Join artist, Jim Gallucci, for a scratch block workshop at Sertoma Arts Center on July 23 from 11am to 1pm. Participants will carve their own design into a sand mold that will be cast with molten iron during an iron pour event later this year. Jim will incorporate the completed iron designs into new art that will be a part of the Sertoma expansion. All materials provided. This activity involves scratching into sand, so be prepared to get a little sandy.
Register for the Workshop online or call Sertoma Art Center at 919-996-2329.
About the Artist
Jim Gallucci is a graduate of LeMoyne College (BA, English 1973) and Syracuse University (BFA, Art 1974 and MFA, Sculpture 1976) and has been a sculptor for over 30 years. He has worked as an art instructor at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and the University of Alabama at Huntsville. He was also an Exhibit Designer for the North Carolina Zoological Park in Asheboro, NC.
Presently, Jim works full-time designing and fabricating sculptures in his Greensboro studio, assisted by his staff. Most of the works are commissions for public, corporate, and residential spaces nationwide. For six years (1997-2002) he showed sculpture at the Pier Walk Sculpture Show in Chicago, IL. This annual show took place on the Navy Pier and was the world’s largest outdoor sculpture show. Over 8.2 million people walked through the venue. Jim has also been selected for such international shows as the World Expo 88 in Brisbane, Australia, and the 7th Henry Moore Grand Prize Exhibition at the Utsukushi-ga-hara Open-Air Museum, Hakone, Japan, and Ube, Japan.
With each project, Jim brings a unique sense of self-expression while captivating the viewer. “Art is the physical manifestation of an idea or event that calls forth an emotional response from the viewer. It speaks to us and evokes a chord deep within us. Good art challenges us, can make us feel righteous, move us, soothe us, heal us and bring us peace.”
