Six sculptures from the Orange County-based artist adorn the garden’s lawns, ready to meet visitors now through Sept. 7. Dubbed the “Dog Days of Sherman,” the pups are part of the Sherman Library & Gardens’ annual Summer Art Installation and represent some of the most popular works from Healey’s collection, which boasts more than 250 of these sculptures.
The open-air exhibit is free with regular garden admission: $5 a ticket. Children who are 3 and younger are admitted free.
The gardens, located at 2647 East Coast Hwy. in Corona Del Mar, are open daily, 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., but will be closed on the Fourth of July.
