Grounds for Sculpture
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Grounds For Sculpture is a 35-acre sculpture park and museum located in Hamilton, New Jersey on the former site of the New Jersey State Fairgrounds. Founded in 1992 by J. Seward Johnson, Jr., Grounds For Sculpture is dedicated to promoting an understanding of and appreciation for contemporary sculpture by organizing exhibitions, publishing catalogues, and offering a variety of educational programs and special community events. In July of 2000, Grounds For Sculpture became a public not-for-profit organization. The sculpture park counts on the support of visitors, art patrons, donations, and grants to continue its growth as an outstanding center for the arts.
Comprised of over 240 large-scale contemporary sculptures, Grounds For Sculpture includes works by renowned and emerging American and international artists. The park's outdoor collection grows by 15 sculptures annually. Outdoor works are selected to augment indoor exhibitions, to add new artists to the sculpture park, and to work in conjunction with the landscaped environment.
