Officials Cut Ribbon at Philadelphia’s Calder Gardens

Local officials held a ribbon-cutting ceremony this morning at Philadelphia’s Calder Gardens, the new sanctuary honoring pathbreaking sculptor Alexander Calder, presaging its opening to the public, which is set for September 21. A free public parade, conceived by artist, composer, and musician Arto Lindsay and organized by Juana Berrío, Calder Gardens’ senior director of programs, will take place on September 20 at noon, originating at the nearby LOVE Park and proceeding to Maja Park, near the gardens, where the Sun Ra Arkestra will perform a free concert at 1 p.m.
