Summer outdoor art tour J. Fatima Martins

In 1917 two young women, writer Margaret C. Getchell and illustrator Edith Ballinger Price, published a book of magical tales for children in which some of Worcester’s now iconic sculptures, the Fisher and Turtle Boys, Blue Heron and Great Griffins come alive at night to roam the streets of Worcester. This summer, try an art hunt around the City to rediscover these and other beautiful, mysterious, monumental artistic treasures: molded bronze, carved stone, assembled mosaic and glass, bolted metal and painted walls.

Greendale, West Bolyston & Bourne streets American Legion Eagle, Post. No. 319 (1947) An important example of modern mid-century sculptural design honoring World War II soldiers with a bronze plague in period font.

Cristoforo Columbo Park, Shrewsbury Street Great Griffins (1875) The Great Griffins were installed from 1915-1916 after they were moved from their original location at the old Union Railroad Station.

Elm Park Monuments & Art In the Park Sculpture Exhibition: Highland, Elm, Russell streets and Park Avenue.

An elegant modernist sculpture selected in 1926 as a memorial to the early agricultural life of the City and unveiled in 1929 by bequest from Ellen Rogers-Kennedy. Criticized by local art patrons at the time as being too modern in style, it was later praised internationally and today is a significant sculptural treasure.

Worcester Art Museum, Lancaster Street Sally (reproduction of original, 1907) Joseph DeCamp Sally has graced the Lancaster Street side of WAM for the past five years and

Art in the Park Exhibition (Aug. 1-Oct. 1 ) Worcester Cultural Commission will host the annual Art In the Park Sculpture Exhibition. A collection of large-scale

STEVE N KI N G

Chandler, Piedmont & Hawley Streets Community Murals # 1, 2, 3 (1994) Tom Lewis Borbely Painted by neighborhood kids directed by artist Borbely. On Chandler and Piedmont there is a mix media mural: painted skeletons/mosaic sun motif.

St. John’s Church, 44 Temple St. Peace & Unity Murals (2008-09) Three murals on parking lot wall: fruit basket, peace tree and sun design. Above the wall on the backlot property are examples of graffiti art and an urban portrait of Abraham Lincoln.

Near University Park Yip, Yip, Yip Mural Contemporary street-art by muralist SONIK featuring monsters from Sesame Street can be viewed at Walpole & Gates streets.

Prospect Street Blam Mural (1995) The brightly colored mural at the basketball courts was a Plumley Village community project in honor of Arries Ann Ward, a former slave and community leader.

sculptures, created by New England artists, will be installed on the park’s grounds, trees and pond. The opening ceremony will be held 5-8:30 p.m. August 5 during the Park Spirit concert at Elm Park. Chamberlain Memorial Fountain and Fisher Boy (1915) Francis J. Kittredge and Andrew O’Connor, Sr. Named after Louisa B. Chamberlain as a memorial to the animals of the City, it was moved to Elm Park in 1956. The minimal styled Fisher Boy sculpture depicts a youth who is modeled after Kittredge’s youngest son. O’Connor was a local sculptor and Kittredge was an internationally recognized artist. Ardea (Blue Heron) (replica of the original, 1882) Paco Mitchell In 1884, Charles H. Davis gave the original 6-foot-tall “Japanese style” bronze sculpture to Elm Park. It was stolen and returned several times, with the first theft in 1959. Later the replica named Ardea (Ardea Herodius) was given to the City. Rogers-Kennedy Memorial (1929) Park Avenue & Pleasant Street Italian Trani Limestone Maurice Sterne

serves as an introduction to the museum’s collection. She appears as a traditional icon with the Greek revival arch framing her portrait. Double Pyramid (1971) Cor-Ten Steel Beverly Pepper A minimalist sculpture with geometric precision conveying the idea, art-of-form, inspired by ancient pyramid-shaped monuments.

The Museum Café Courtyard Equinox (1975) Steel Issac Witkin An example of late mid-century, geometric metal work influenced by David Smith, designed to convey active light and shadow transitions, arranged to point to the four seasons.

Campgrounds Lauren McShane

If private resorts simply aren’t in your budget and the thought of a stay-cation makes your skin crawl (is that kiddie pool in your front lawn really a good idea?), why not enjoy a day, a week or more at one of these nearby campgrounds? Camping is a great way to relax and vacation on your own time, in your own style and within a budget that works. The campgrounds listed

below all offer private campsites, reasonable prices and plenty of activities should you decide it’s time to move from your lounge chair.
