Hospitality Wall of Fame Inductees
Glenn Zweygardt 
The works of Glenn Zweygardt are simultaneously ancient and contemporary. With his use of diverse materials- cast bronze, glass, iron, marble, stainless steel and granite- he creates complex media sculptures that exemplify a master of the three dimensional form.
Zweygardt possesses an uncanny ability to fuse dissimilar elements and concepts, natural occurring and fabricated forms, into structures that command the attention of the observer. For this sculpture, the relationship between the elements allows the observer to see the big picture of Hospitality efficiently - Gestalt.
Zweygardt’s mastery of the building process along with his ability to create enormous works of art from materials of tremendous mass has gained him international recognition and membership to the Berman Group, a cooperative of sculptors whose collective work spans virtually the entire spectrum of possibilities of “traditional” modernist sculpture.
Born in Kansas, Zweygardt earned a BFA degree from Wichita State in 1967. He received a MFA from Maryland Institute of Art in 1969 and is an emeritus Professor of Sculpture at the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University. Zweygardt works independently in his immense workshop in Alfred Station, New York. Here his work continues to evolve-varied shapes and rich surfaces, transparent and dense forms, concept and technical relationship, personal and collective perceptions- into fine art of eminent legacy.
Honoring the history of Hospitality
Hos.pi.tal.i.ty - the friendly and generous reception and entertainment of guests, visitors or strangers.
The Hospitality Sculpture pays tribute to the recipients of the Hospitality Hall of Fame. Each and every inductee defines the definition of Hospitality.
Hospitality has been a leading industry in the area, it is essential to honor the history, longevity and resilience of the industry and honor the individuals who devoted their lives to it. These individuals and establishments are a woven part of the fabric of our community. A true sense of pride and history emerges reading the biographies.
Thank you

The Sculpture/Monument
The base stone is Barre Vermont gray Granite with the notable recipients' names engraved into the sides of the base stone.
The Base Stone has a slot in it that receives the fabricated stainless steel vertical element. Stainless Steel represents the vast stainless steel in restaurant kitchens. Ensconced in the vertical element are three Blue Cast Glass elements. Glass elements are a signature of the sculptor.
At the top of the Stainless steel Vertical is a fabricated ovular stainless steel capital with blue porcelain enameled stars- depicting a level of service.
On the top of the Capital is a Cast Bronze large pineapple symbolizing the universal symbol of “Hospitality”.
At the very top of the pineapple is a stainless steel circle that represents a plate with a spoon, fork and knife cut through the plate space, thus completing the symbolic essentials of quality dining.
