MIDDLETOWN — Beware of an alligator lurking in the lily pads, a dragon in flight through the branches of a tree or a hippopotamus emerging from a pool of marble.

Or marvel at a steam engine spuming huge curls of wired smoke, a clan reunion in bark and many more works of art sculpted out of wood, iron, steel, marble, alabaster, ceramic, bronze, copper, textile, clay, stoneware, plaster, terracotta and found objects.

SUNY Orange Cultural Affairs is hosting a major sculpture show in Orange Hall Gallery now through Oct. 26, entitled “On & Off the Wall - Sculpture: Art in 3 Dimensions.”

The exhibition is comprised of 56 sculptures by 29 sculptors. Sculptures, ranging in size from six inches to nine feet, are their makers realistic or abstract interpretations in three dimensions.
