Sculpture Park. More important, however, you will have the satisfaction of knowing that
your contribution will ensure that the quality of the works in your
Sculpture Park remains high, the permanent collection is well-maintained, that educational programs will continue to be offered in our local schools, libraries, places of worship and retirement homes, and that our popular Sunday tours will continue to be offered
free of charge.
