Grounds for Sculpture

While visiting Staten Island, I went to lunch and had an art outing in NJ. Scoff as you may at the thought of there being culture in NJ - it does exist. The old NJ State Fairgrounds has done something very unique with its old buildings and landscaping.They made it into an art center. Opening in 1992, the Grounds for Sculpture occupies about thirty-five acres of land providing a beautiful setting for art. Who knew? After a very nice lunch in Rats restaurant with Aunt Fran, Uncle Joe, my cousin Linda and her energetic daughter Kate (whom I absolutely adore!) we strolled through the grounds on a very warm summer afternoon. What a fabulous place. If you are ever near Hamilton,NJ you must go. The grounds are immaculately manicured and the art varied. There is something for everyone.
