Description[edit]

David Gilhooly's Performing Frogs (1982) is a ceramic sculpture depicting frogs performing acrobatics atop six concrete pillars; some of them have birds sitting on their heads. It is installed at the Hult Center for the Performing Arts. A nearby plaque reads: PERFORMING FROGS / DAVID GILHOOLY / 1982. The sculpture's condition was deemed "treatment urgent" by the Smithsonian Institution's "Save Outdoor Sculpture!" program in October 1993. It was administered by the City of Eugene then.[1]
