Fredericks created a full-scale "Freedom of the Human Spirit" sculpture for the 1964-1965 New York World's Fair.

Notable recipients of this award include President George H.W. Bush, Betty Ford, Nancy Reagan and Christopher Reeve.

"Sketches to Sculptures, Rendered Reality: Sixty Years with Marshall M. Fredericks" is open now through June 27. DON'T MISS OUT!! Free & Open to the Public, Monday-Saturday, 11am to 5pm!!
