About Grounds for Sculpture
Grounds for Sculpture is a 42-acre sculpture park, museum, and arboretum founded on the site of the former New Jersey State Fairgrounds. Opened to the public in 1992, it has become cone of the premier culture destinations in New Jersey, welcoming and enchanting three million visitors since then.
Grounds for Sculpture believes visiting an oasis of beauty, where art and imaginatively landscaped gardens awaken the senses, enhances well- being, and stimulates reflection. Curiosity, discovery, and playfulness have and will continue to guide their work.
Hella and Scott McVay
The McVays have been selected as this year's honorees for their enthusiastic leadership in promoting a wide range of causes, including conservation, environmental stewardship, animal welfare, the arts, science, and education.
They are known for their ability to make connections between art and nature. "As you look at the natural world," says Scott, "in all its variability, connectedness, and diversity, it's just one miracle after another."
Proceeds from the gala will support New Jersey Conservation Foundation's land preservation, advocacy and stewardship efforts throughout the state.
