“The Arts at UMBC”

October 3rd All-day events Green Space/Reflective Place

The UMBC Center for Art, Design and Visual Culture presents a day of programs designed to explore the development of open, contemplative space for healthier living. Events will be held on Wednesday, October 3rd, at the Joseph Beuys Sculpture Park and at the Albin O. Kuhn Library Gallery, both located on the UMBC campus. A portion of the day¹s program will include a discussion of the German artist Joseph Beuys (1921-1986), who highlighted the need for greater environmental awareness across the globe through his ongoing social sculpture project, 7000 Oaks, which inspired the planting of over 350 trees and several stones by over 500 people in Baltimore City parks and at the Joseph Beuys Sculpture Park in 2000.
