Richard MacDonald is considered by many to be the world's preeminent living figurative sculptor.

"MacDonald is one of those rare artists who can feel the body in motion from the inside out." –TOM WOLFE

His art is collected by people from all walks of life – from aspiring aficionados to celebrities and heads of state.

MacDonald uses acrobats, dancers and contortionists to capture the essence of movement, making sure to incorporate developed muscular tone and features.

A leading advocate of the neo-figurative movement in the arts, MacDonald's work has been featured in hundreds of solo and group exhibitions and is represented in important collections worldwide.

Not only will you wonder how the models were able to get into such poses, but you'll also wonder how MacDonald re-created them so perfectly.

Richard MacDonald believes that beauty connects people and lifts their spirits to a higher level. He has dedicated his career to creating passionate works of art that dramatically enrich the lives of others.

Don't miss this extremely rare opportunity to visit MacDonald's private Monterey Studio and one of kind Foundry, where his visions come to life through a painstaking, artfully arduous process.

You'll see first hand how the sculptures are created, then deconstructed, only to be born a new in molten bronze in the Richard MacDonald foundry.

From the Private Studio Tour, you'll be transported to Carmel-By-The-Sea to the Dawson Cole Fine Art Gallery, home of Richard MacDonald's works for the Welcome Reception.

Performances will be held among some of MacDonald's finest and most sensuous sculptures while you enjoy District 7 Wines along with bites and delights provided by A Party For Your Palate.
