The Town of Benson and the Benson Art Advisory Board are proud to announce the installation of the third sculpture in the annual rotating art display on Main Street.

Greensboro-based artist Jim Gallucci and his assistant Mary Rezin installed a 10-foot tall metal arch next to the Mary Duncan Public Library (100 W. Main Street). The sculpture consists of random letters "jumbled" around the box arch. In fact, that’s the name of the work — "Jim’s Jumble Arch."

Mr. Gallucci 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.

Today, he works full time designing and fabricating sculpture in his Greensboro studio assisted by his staff. Most of the works are commissions for public, corporate, and residential spaces around the country — everything from the Pier Walk Sculpture Show in Chicago to designing the gates for First Horizon Park, the home of the Greensboro Grasshoppers Baseball team.

He also loves installing pieces in small towns. The Jumble Arch was previously shown in Salisbury at Livingstone College before making its way to Benson, where it will be on display for one year.
