Bus Trips

Art Association in Roxbury bus trips to art galleries and museums are reasonably priced and provide opportunities to visit New York City, Philadelphia, and other places that our members might not get a chance to see. This is a great way to expand the mind and spur creativity.
 

Art Association in Roxbury Sponsors Bus Trip:

The Art Association in Roxbury is sponsoring a bus trip to the Grounds for Sculpture in Hamilton, NJ on Saturday, October 22, 2011. The public is invited to join our members on this memorable trip. The bus will depart from the Rockaway Townsquare Mall, across from the old Sizzler’s building and the Hilton Garden Inn, at 8:30 am and return by 6:30 pm.  Bus Trip Brochure

Grounds for Sculpture is New Jersey’s foremost sculpture park and museum. It located in Hamilton, on the site of the former NJ State fairgrounds. There are more than 250 large-scale sculptures on over 35 magnificently landscaped acres along with two museum buildings, a visitor’s center, and two restaurants. Most of the sculptures on exhibit outdoors are displayed courtesy of the Sculpture Foundation, Inc., a charitable foundation that collects works of art by American and international artists. The Foundation supports Grounds for Sculpture by lending works for exhibit in the park. Sculptures in a variety of styles and media, including bronze, steel, stone, wood, concrete and mixed media are represented. Featured are sculptures by artists such as Clement Meadmore, Anthony Caro, Beverly Pepper, Kiki Smith, and George Segal. A brand new exhibit “Aerial Roots” with 35 objects by Steve Tobin will be opening this September in a new 7 acre wildflower meadow! This display will only be on view for 10 months. It features 35 gigantic objects, some as heavy as 9 tons. It will be the largest-scale outdoor sculpture exhibit for a single artist on view at least in the region and possibly in the United States.

The bus will also make a stop in Princeton to visit the Princeton University Art Museum, one of the leading university art museums in the country. The collections have grown to over 72,000 works of art that range from ancient to contemporary works. There is an optional guided tour of the campus, which features sculptures by Alexander Calder, Henry Moore, Louise Nevelson, and Pablo Picasso.

This bus trip is open to everyone. The cost is $43 per person and includes bus, admission, and guided tour. Payment deadline is October 6th.
