“Public art poses its own unique set of challenges and opportunities, and the selection of sculpture this year shows strong yet diverse works which variously offer an inviting level of intimacy and a human scale, as well as a sense of the monumental," said Susan Cross, Curator of Visual Arts at MASS MoCA in North Adams.
Opening festivities will take place from 3 PM to 7 PM on the 14th and will be on view at the park until October 11.
