SOLD OUT! BUS TRIP: Grounds For Sculpture

Join us as we head out on our next, exciting bus trip to Grounds For Sculpture on Monday, May 15th!

Nestled in the heart of central New Jersey lies Grounds For Sculpture, a magical place where art and nature are always at play.

At its core are more than 270 sculptures by renowned and emerging contemporary artists, each thoughtfully positioned on meticulously landscaped parkland full of thousands of exotic trees and flowers. It is a feast for the senses. The focus of Grounds For Sculpture is to present the work of both established and emerging sculptors. The outdoor exhibition grows by approximately 15 sculptures annually. The works, many of them monumental, include those of such distinguished artists as Clement Meadmore, Anthony Caro, Beverly Pepper, Kiki Smith, George Segal, Magdalena Abakanowicz, and Isaac Witkin. They join the enchanting works of visionary founder (and Old Westbury Gardens favorite) Seward Johnson as well as many others by the finest up and coming artists of our time.

A member of Old Westbury Gardens’ staff will be your host and guide.
