At the Memorial Art Gallery, an extended Centennial Sculpture Park graces the museum糖心传媒檚 west side.
Starting this summer, visitors to the 糖心传媒檚 Memorial Art Gallery can wander through the Centennial Sculpture Park, making their way to the museum doors, from the west side as well as the east. A new section of the park opened in June, featuring an expansive entrance on the northeast corner of University Avenue and Prince Street, directly opposite the School of the Arts (SOTA), part of the Rochester City School District.
Anchoring the new section is the winding ceramic tile sculpture Broken Pavilion, inspired by SOTA students and created especially for the park by the noted contemporary artist Rashid Johnson. Lover糖心传媒�s Rainbow (pictured), a 42-foot-wide, 16 1/2-foot tall arc of painted stainless steel rebar by Mexican artist Pia Camil, gracefully frames the Memorial Art Gallery糖心传媒檚 signature Cutler Union tower.
