One of the most prestigious competitive exhibitions held exclusively for sculpture is the international North American Sculpture Exhibition sponsored by the Foothills Art Center in Golden, CO. Fitzgerald's work was first exhibited at the North American Sculpture Exhibition in 1984. To date, his work has been represented in the North American Sculpture Exhibition a total of six times, and he has been honored as a top award winner twice. In 1991, the Foothills Art Center established an exclusive collection of distinguished sculptors titled, "The North American Sculpting Society". Sculptors qualify for inclusion in this very select group by having their work selected for exhibit in the North American Sculpture Exhibition a minimum of four times in a ten-year period. Fitzgerald¹s work was selected six times in an eight-year period, and was distinguished as an award winner twice. This is truly an extraordinary accomplishment. He was inducted into the North American Sculpting Society in 1991, the same year it was established. Here are a few lines from an in Article in a Denver newspaper regarding Fitzgerald¹s art. Fitzgerald has not just met the challenges of being a contemporary sculptor, but also the important aspect of making his work accessible to the general public. He continues to exhibit his work and is still winning "Best of Show" awards. Fitzgerald¹s distinguished record and accomplishments in the competitive field of art exhibitions is truly outstanding. This record is a testimony to Fitzgerald¹s brilliance and outstanding ability as a contemporary sculptor. His work stands out among sculptors, anywhere, at any time. Fitzgerald has said about exhibiting his work, "That is where my work becomes alive in the eyes and experiences of the viewer. It is truly here, in the experiences of the viewer, that the life quality of my sculpture is born.
