Participate in a community sculpture project for all
ages!
This spring, we are excited about hosting amazing

Residency from April 5 - 30. Voss' practice of using
discarded objects to create sculptural pieces allows
for an enormous amount of artistic exploration and
discovery. During his residency, Voss will work with
residents of all ages to create an outdoor sculptural
installation on the Arts Center's grounds.
Meet Voss Finn and learn more about the project at a
special welcoming reception on Sunday, March 14
