"It is a pleasure to honor Andre Reyeard for his time and dedication to the production of the Sculpture Garden," said Carrie W. Gray, Managing Director of Wilmington Renaissance Corporation. "The installation of "InTreeGuing" brought together neighbors and strangers as they worked side by side to 'plant' this garden. It is another example of how art builds community."
