Meredith Bergmann Sculptor Talk “History Made by Hand”

The Friends of the Acton Council on Aging announces the next Honoring Excellence program will sponsor Acton resident and nationally renowned sculptor Meredith Bergmann. Meredith will talk about her work creating monuments to great Americans, including FDR, Sojourner Truth, Abigail Adams, Marian Anderson, Susan B. Anthony, and more. She will show how her process grows from historical research to sculpting each monument at three different sizes, winning approvals from various stakeholders, bronze casting and installation, bringing fresh new life to historical figures. Pictured – the 2024 Lexington Women’s Liberty Monument, titled “Something Is Being Done,” spans our history to include representation of 24 historic women from Lexington, MA.
