Paint on GRAPHOLOGYHENGE

Bring your own spray paint, paint pens, or permanent markers and make your mark on this sculpture created by JSP 2018 Artist in Residence Peyton Scott Russell.


Meet up at The Porch Project: Take it to the Bridge

This sculpture by 2019 Artist in Residence Heather Hart features five, five-sided picnic tables on shaded, elevated platforms. It is perfect for your next community meeting, family picnic, informal performance, craft meet-up, and more! An ADA accessible bridge from the main parking lot to the heart of the sculpture makes it a convenient and accessible place to meet up to converse, create and connect. The sculpture can seat up to 25 people. The bridge leads to the one wheelchair-accessibly table; the remaining four tables are accessed via stairs. JSP does not manage reservations for use of the sculpture; it is available on a first-come, first-serve basis. JSP invites the community to make the space their own. Learn more.
