Grounds for Sculpture
Saturday, July 26, 2008
Take a leisurely walk through the 35 acre contemporary sculpture park in Hamilton, New Jersey on the site of the former New Jersey State Fair Grounds near Trenton.
(See www.groundsforsculpture.org/index.html)
Features include indoor seasonal sculpture ( currently Masters in Clay presenting 7 globally known clay artists) in two 10,000 square foot gallery spaces and outdoor sculpture gardens including paintings of Monet, Manet and Renoir duplicated as sculptures which can be walked into. There are also hundreds of varieties of trees, woodlands , marsh, pond, lake and water gardens. There are approximately 250 sculptures on view with more being added throughout the year. There is also a museum shop and another shop /gallery which sell creations of artisans from around the world.
No outside food or beverages may be brought in, however a Café offers a full lunch menu. We plan to tour the grounds first and then have Café lunches in the tree canopied Café garden among the sculptures. Admission is $10 for adults and $8 for students and seniors.
Meet at the parking lot inside the gate at 10:30 AM or take the SEPTA R-7 train to Levittown arriving there at 9:45 AM to be car pooled from there.
Approximate time at the park is 3 hours including lunch at the Café.
