Grounds For Sculpture has been awarded a grant from the JOHN BEN SNOW MEMORIAL TRUST to support 2024-25 academic year #afterschool programming with three community partners, the Hamilton Area YMCA, HomeWorks Trenton, and The Father Center of New Jersey. These programs developed in collaboration with the partners, explore a variety of arts-based concepts through a STEAM-based curriculum and aim to build participants’ socio-emotional well-being and leadership skills. We are excited to continue these relationships and increase students’ access to art, horticulture, and wellness opportunities. #Trenton #Hamilton #backtoschool #museums

A new Education Gallery exhibition Philotechnic Transformation, curated by the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen (TASK) and the Trenton Community A-Team (TCAT) is now open through August 25, 2024. Each art piece represents a broad palette of concepts, emotions, and inspirations and offers the viewer a glimpse into the individual artist’s life and creative process. The exhibition features work from Dolores Frails, Carol Johnson, Lisa Lewis, Herman “Shorty” Rose, Emery Williams, Deborah “Half-Pint” Kisela, Claudia Moeller, Derrick Branch, Charles Smith, Demond Williams, John Hayes, Nourelgalil Salih, Gia Smith, Tyrese Douglas, Antonio Sullivan, Walter Roberts, Ethel Mack and Willie Spinks. TASK, TCAT, and Grounds For Sculpture have been partnering since 2022. With support from the DINA WIND ART FOUNDATION Foundation, GFS has offered TASK artists the opportunity to participate in high-level art classes at no cost. This program has provided space for artists to develop their technical skills and creative expression. TASK’s creative arts program is made possible, in part, by the Mercer County Cultural and Heritage Commission through funding from the Mercer County Board of Chosen Commissioners and the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, a Partner Agency of the National Endowment for the Arts. #Trenton #MercerCounty #arts #exhibitions #artmuseums To reserve tickets to visit GFS and the exhibition visit https://lnkd.in/eeBgSJu

42 acres, 10 poets, 2 food trucks and a 20-foot vessel! Come join us for an evening of poetry in the garden! Join us for an exploration of word flow, verses and landscapes as Danny Simmons brings a Def Poetry Jam Reunion to Grounds For Sculpture (GFS) featuring poet and master ceramicist Roberto Lugo. This partnership is inspired by our 2023 acquisition of Lugo’s 20-foot vessel Put Yourself in the Picture. The title of the vessel was pulled from a poem, performed by legendary rapper, teacher, poet, and philosopher KRS-one, at Def Poetry Jam (a spoken word poetry television series) where KRS-one stated “..visualize wealth and put yourself in the picture”. We are thrilled to partner with poet, painter, and philanthropist Danny Simmons as he curates Def Poetry Jam Alumni to share their poetic practice. A Def Poetry Jam Reunion is supported in part by the New Jersey Council for the Humanities, a state partner of the National Endowment for the Arts.
