New Sculptures across Riverdale Park

Good Afternoon Neighbors,

Five new sculptures have landed in Riverdale Park, as part of the Town’s Public Art Initiative http://hycdc.org/rppai (with a sixth on its way late January!)

They are as follows –

1. Joanna Blake’s “Great Blue Herons” at JD Williams Professional Building at East-West Highway and Baltimore Ave: Herons depicts three herons joined with outstretched wings at their tips, forming the international symbol for recycling, atop a tall steel base at the office building’s south lawn.

2018 will mark the Public Art Initiative’s second placement of temporary year-long works. This year introduces two new artists’ work to the program:

2. George Sabra’s provocative environmental jeremiad “Era Gate” at Riverdale Recreation Park

3. Grant McFarland’s inviting artifice “Asymmetrical Equilibrium” at Riverside Neighborhood Park.

Returning artists’ works include:

4. Craig Berube-Gray’s ode to resiliency and community outreach, “Sweet-Hearts” at Beale Circle;

5. Alan Binstock’s aspirational “Totem” along the Rhode Island Ave. Trolley Trail; and

6. Paul Steinkoenig’s timeless meditation, “In Harmony” (coming late January 2018)
