So much fun, highly recommend checking out the Maker's Night experience

This is a hidden gem. PepsiCo headquarters are surrounded by a beautiful sculpture garden that is…read moreopen to public on weekends and is free. This is a great way to spend 1-1.5 hrs walking around meticulously landscaped garden with some nice sculptures. About half the sculptures are modern art which i don't care about. But plenty are actually pleasant to look at. Totems were great looking. Some sculptures are funny like Personage ( aka ET with erection) Overall very enjoyable afternoon here

The sculpture gardens are free and open to the public. When you arrive at the PepsiCo campus, you…read morehave to give your name and phone number to security and then they direct you to the parking area, which is also free. There was a food truck in the parking lot with Pepsi themed dishes. They closed at 2pm on a Saturday, so we didn't try anything. The grounds are well maintained and easy to walk. The main path through the sculpture gardens has gravel. We had no issues pushing a stroller. The grass is lush and immaculately mowed. It's perfect for laying out a blanket. The sculptures are unique and eye catching. The printed map doesn't have much detail about the art beyond the name of each piece and the sculptor. There are no placards with information either, so it's not very educational. Some of the trees and plants are labeled, so you get a bit of a botanical gardens experience as well. There were a few benches along the path, but most were not shaded. Great place for a stroll. You can easily get through it in an hour.

I am taking 4 stars away because Silvermine Art Center gets grants on the basis of "supporting arts…read moreand artists." And they do not in principle accomplish that, in my opinion. They do support their insiders' clique and their own appearance. For instance, there are talented artists in the area who are not rich and can't afford an open sketch at $40 a pop for long pose and $30 a week for short pose. If you do both open sketches a week, that's $70. $70 a week for the right to stand in a room and draw a model--no materials nor instruction. (Nor would I want that.) Proctor said it all goes to the model. I would like to see proof of that! To some of us $70 is grocery money. They haven't a clue. They live in McMansions, likely married to men who've made a fortune. This scene is by the wealthy for the wealthy. Additionally, I am disabled. I can't sketch from 10-3 on the long pose. I physically cannot sustain those hours. So I offered to pay half for half the time. (I would leave during the break.) The proctor refused to accommodate my disability. (I have medical records to prove it.) Cold cruel people run this place! A place where your physical disability will not be accommodated, though they get state and federal funds. Why don't state and national grants go to the models? To reduce the cost of the open sketch for artists? I used to work in a Manhattan art gallery on W57th Street, and even there I did not deal with oversized egos on the level of SAC admin. Looking around the room at the rich duffers who could easily pay 20x the fee, you wonder why admin can't raise all the money from them? I agree with the reviewer who said Silvermine isn't a place for serious adult artists. It is not. --It's a place that just as easily murders talent.
