Spring Neighborhood Day Celebrates Art and Nature

On Spring Neighborhood Day, Sat., May 19, The Rockefeller University’s grounds will be open to the public.

The Rockefeller University’s Spring Neighborhood Day traditionally celebrates the beauty of nature. This year it celebrates the beauty of art as well. Visitors to campus on Sat., May 19, will enjoy not only the campus’s lushly landscaped grounds but also the new sculptures on campus.

This special exhibition, entitled "Sculpture from the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Sculpture Garden of the Museum of Modern Art," includes works by Scott Burton, Alexander Calder, Ettore Colla, Herbert Ferber, Bryan Hunt, Henry Moore, Claes Oldenburg, Eduardo Paolozzi, George Rickey, David Smith, Tony Smith and Mark di Suvero.

As part of the Spring Neighborhood Day activities, MoMA Director Glenn Lowry will give a public lecture about the sculptures, which will remain on campus for 18 months. The day will also include jazz music and docent-led art tours for the public and campus community.

The event, which takes place from 12:30 p.m. to 4 p.m., is free and open to the public.
