This Thursday, June 25!

Join Malena Grigoli for an evening inspired by the menu of Genesis 1:29, the beloved 1970s vegetarian restaurant once housed in the building now occupied by The Sculpture Center. Guests will share wine, soup, and bread made from ambient yeast while reflecting on the layers of labor, care, and daily life embedded within the space over time. Through food and conversation, the event offers a shared experience connecting memory, place, and the histories held within the building.

Grace Chin, our executive director, reflects on the Martin Puryear: Nexus exhibition on display now at The Cleveland Museum of Art.

"Sculpture should not behave. It should challenge us physically, intellectually, and emotionally.

If we want an art scene that reflects the complexity of the world we live in, we must make space for disciplines that resist easy interpretation. Sculpture does that. It slows us down. It disrupts our assumptions. And at its best, it changes how we understand what sculpture can do and how we understand ourselves.”

Don't miss your chance to join The Sculpture Center this Thursday, May 14 as we tour Martin Puryear: Nexus with curator Emily Liebert followed by dinner at Edwins Leadership & Restaurant Institute. Sign up here: https://sculpturecenter.org/curator-led-tour-martin-puryear-dinner/
