Sand Sculpting Exhibit
WE’LL BE BACK IN 2019!
The Town of Carefree welcomed world renowned artist and sculptor, Ray Villafane, back to create sand art like no other within the Sanderson Lincoln Pavilion, Carefree Desert Gardens.
This 30 ton masterpiece of the Tortellini Brotherstook 30 days to complete and will stay preserved with a little water and glue lightly sprayed upon it’s surface. The silt was sourced from the Arizona Salt River, filtered, mixed with water and tamped to provide a consistency worthy of sculpting.
