For more than six decades, Barrett has created expressive abstract sculpture and paintings exhibited throughout the United States and internationally. His work is held in museum, university, corporate, civic, and private collections, and his monumental sculptures have become part of the public landscape in communities across the country. On Saturday, October 3, artists, collectors, Rotarians, friends, and members of the community will gather at the Santa Fe Country Club for an intimate evening of art, dinner, fellowship, and celebration. A SPECIAL OPPORTUNITY FOR COLLECTORS The evening will offer two special opportunities to acquire original works by Bill Barrett.
