SUMMARY:Waking Up The Park
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Vallican Whole on the weekend of August 9 – 10 to celebrate the re-opening of the Sculpture Park. Originally opened in 2010\, the park has been quietly slumbering until this year\, when some of our best local artists have installed new wonderful sculptures to awaken it. \nCome walk the forest pathways and discover the magical visions and presences\, and visit the indoor gallery where there will be a new show by local artists for the duration of the weekend. Take part in art making workshops for all ages – a hands-on opportunity to use natural and recycled materials creatively. On Sunday\, enjoy music by the duo Tunupa The Cosmic Gardeners (Eva Tree and Bill Dickerson) between 1 and 3 pm\, and a barbecue from 12 to 2pm. \nThis is a FREE event\, sponsored by the Columbia Basin Culture Tour. Sculpture park and gallery will be open 10 – 4 both days. See you there!
