Join us for an Artist Talk from Kurt Steger on Sunday, July 5 from 2-3pm.

Kurt Steger has been a carpenter, woodworker, and sculptor for over four decades. He brings a high level of craftsmanship, design, and ingenuity to his creations, which in turn express his concern for the environment and humanity. His work has many influences, from Shamanism to Buddhism to Western psychology. Steger’s accomplishments include an installation in Sacramento City Hall in Sacramento, CA, a traffic circle sculpture in Grass Valley, CA, and an interactive sculpture and healing ceremony conducted at the Smithsonian Museum of American Art in Washington D.C., honoring the ten-year anniversary of 9/11.

Steger's work is in private, public, and museum collections, and he received a NYFA Sculpture Grant in 2017. He teaches woodworking to adults, and recently started a woodworking program for children in which he emphasizes the importance of working with one’s hands. His current and most ambitious sculptural project is the creation of his home sculpture garden, including a studio that he designed and built.

Born in Switzerland, Heinrich Spillmann came to New York City in 1979 with an exchange program from the Basel School of Design to The Cooper Union Art School.

In New York he met his wife and together they started Evelyn Sherwood Designs. They designed a wide variety of interior and graphics projects for restaurant and retail clients. In the early 1990’s they relocated to Germany but returned to Brooklyn NY in 2000. Here Heinrich directed design and renovation projects for the Brooklyn Public Library over the past 20 years.

During his involvement in design and architecture Heinrich maintained his own art practice. This allowed him to exhibit a variety of furniture and art projects over the years in New York and Switzerland.
