A charming bronze sculpture now welcomes visitors to the BAA Gallery
“Holding On,” a lifesize cast-bronze sculpture of a little girl holding on to her sun-hat, is now gracing the porch of the Historic Elliott House on Bay Street.
The sculpture, by Norman Mansson, is the Seabrook, SC sculptor’s third installation in downtown Beaufort. “Calling Home,” two little boys at a pay phone, is just inside the Old Bay Marketplace. “Helping Hands,” one young girl helping another at a drinking fountain, adorns the entrance to the downtown branch of the Beaufort County Library.
