Brooklyn art studio creates sculpture of JFK for Kennedy Center
Sunset Park's StudioEIS specializes in historic figures
StudioEIS, a Brooklyn-based, family-run sculpture and design studio that has specialized in historical sculptures for more than four decades, will soon unveil its latest creation: a bronze sculpture of the likeness of President John F. Kennedy.
Commissioned by the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. and underwritten by Center Chairperson David M. Rubenstein in honor of its namesake, the sculpture is a part of the year-long 50th anniversary celebration of the founding of the nation’s performing arts center. The 81-inch, 660-pound sculpture will be located outdoors in the lower gardens of the campus and be accessible to all visitors at the Kennedy Center complex.
A private unveiling is scheduled for the afternoon of Dec. 4, 2021, during the Kennedy Center Honors weekend.
