Stanford Club of Philadelphia

All Ivy Event with Philadelphia Harvard and Cornell Clubs
Enjoy a fall experience at the renowned Grounds for Sculpture with board member, Jasmin Sethi of the Harvard Club. GFS Executive Director Gary Garrido Schneider will open the event, followed by a wine and cheese reception in the beautiful Water Garden with your fellow Ivy alums and guests. Grounds for Sculpture aims to inspire, thrill, and rejuvenate all who visit. This is a different tour than the one we had in June. Please read the details below.
In 1984, Seward Johnson, sculptor and philanthropist, envisioned a public sculpture garden and museum in Hamilton, NJ. He desired to make contemporary sculpture accessible and offer people from all backgrounds the opportunity to become comfortable with contemporary art and experience sculpture in a familiar, accessible, and informal setting.

The afternoon will include a private tour of GFS's new exhibition, Slow Motion, which features indoor and outdoor sculptures. Discounted membership opportunities for alums to join GFS will also be discussed. This event is proudly co-hosted with the Cornell Club of Philadelphia.
