The Minneapolis Sculpture Garden is one of Minnesota's crown jewels and its centerpiece, the Spoonbridge and Cherry, has become a Minnesota icon. The Sculpture Garden is essentially a free museum in a park. Welcoming residents and tourists alike, the Sculpture Garden is a valuable economic, educational, and cultural asset for the state.
After 22 years and more than 7.2 million visitors, the Sculpture Garden's infrastructure has deteriorated and some of its plant life has reached the end of its natural life cycle. The Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board, with the full support of the Walker Art Center, is pursuing state bonding to repair and renovate this unique state asset.
We need your help to preserve the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden for the next generation!
Please take action by visiting http://garden.walkerart.org/bonding today. It's quick, easy and will make all the difference.
