ART EVENT
2018 Opening Day
at Cold Hollow Sculpture Park
Saturday, June 23, 2018
To shape their inquiry into the processes of finding new areas of imaginative exploration, Cold Hollow Sculpture Park metaphorically casts artists and scientists as adventuresome travelers, and the paths that their work takes, a journey. They are fascinated to learn what their journeys can reveal about stepping into the unknown and learning to see anew. Cold Hollow Sculpture Park is a place of discovery. Through a multi-disciplinary lens, they champion curiosity, attentive observation, and dialogue. Their fundamental goals are the preservation of the land and art, and a commitment to “an aesthetic awareness.” Sculptures can be entered, walked through, viewed from varying distances, angles, and in changing light, awakening and challenging visitors’ perceptions of space, color, and form. This quality of awareness is also a way of being, in one’s life and the world, that brings respect and dedication to everything that one engages.
Come to Cold Hollow Sculpture Park on Saturday, June 23rd for their Opening Day Celebration. At 2PM, enjoy “Jazz in the Meadows” with saxophonists Christopher Peterman (of Kilimanjaro) and Luke Laplant. Improvisational music is an adventure of discovery in melody. Peterman, on tenor, and Laplant, on baritone, will improvise a musical dialog using the landscape of the sculpture park.
