Volunteers Needed June 13th at 9am

We’re excited to be installing the first interactive sculpture on our campus Friday, June 13th. The Interactive Sculpture Garden is envisioned as a visually captivating series of art installations that encourage interaction and movement to improve well-being as we age. This unique garden is being developed in collaboration with Kasia Ozga, Assistant Professor of Sculpture in the School of Art/College of Visual and Performing Arts at University of North Carolina-Greensboro (UNCG) who is overseeing an interdisciplinary team of colleagues in the Interior Architecture Department, Gerontology, Kinesiology, and the Department of Human Development and Family Studies/Sociology. Also involved is an Elders Advisory Team of aging adults from CAN-NC who have met with advanced undergraduates in Sculpture to discuss interests, needs, and challenges of aging - educating them about both aging problems and potential. After 20 students submitted ideas with posters and small scale models, the Circle of Life designed by Ashley Jones was selected to be the first installation. Volunteers are needed for 1 to 2 hours to help us move and hold the steel panels as the experts secure them in place. Please register at https://form.jotform.com/251564999191169.
