It’s Grounds For Sculpture’s birthday bash! On Saturday,
June 5 from 11am to 4pm, we’re celebrating the founding of Grounds For Sculpture and
the arts in all their glory. We give you the gifts with hourly door prize drawings and free
ice cream and cake for the family! Are you curious about a particular sculpture in the
park? Bring your questions to our annual Meet the Artists program! Tour the Grounds
with select Artist-in-the-Park at 11am, 1pm and 2pm and this year, enjoy a new twist as
MM2 (Music & Motion Dance) perform improvisational dances in respect to each artist.
Also different and exciting this year, in conjunction with the Spring/Summer 2010
Exhibition Season, Grounds For Sculpture will paint a car! Gratuitous of a vehicle
donation by Suburban Wrench of Pennington, NJ, Grounds For Sculpture will conduct a very special demonstration as local graffiti artists Leon Rainbow and Will “Kasso”
Condry invoke the spirit of popular avant garde artist Keith Haring and the iconic
occasion in 1982 when Haring painted a BMW. Experience this unconventional art
piece come to colorful life in a modern day variation!
Free workshops for the family this day include a Monoprint Workshop from Noon to 4pm
and the Community Quilt Project from 1pm to 4pm. Free musical performances by an
eclectic group of local artists are kicked off by music and poetry performed by D.J.
