resting my feet
sitting still like a statue
imitating life
Nearly 30 years ago Grounds for Sculpture was founded on the former New Jersey State Fairgrounds. Today nearly 300 contemporary sculptures are sited across 42 landscaped acres. Included there are six indoor galleries. Over time, more than 700 artists have had their work on view outdoors and in the galleries. Every year the landscape of trees and plantings and ponds is expanded and new sculptures added. Visiting the Grounds is always a treat.
I am a Jersey gal, grew up in Trenton, and for a time lived just outside the entrance to these fairgrounds. As a kid, I remember roaming around day after day exploring the grounds during the off-season and discovering the many wonders there. I loved it.
