Winter Carnival fun at Lynden Sculpture Garden Feb. 11

WINTER IS A GREAT TIME to visit the Lynden Sculpture Garden, located a short drive north of downtown at 2145 W. Brown Deer Rd.

The lake is available for ice skating, depending on weather conditions. And family activities are the focus of the Second Annual Winter Carnival on Sunday, Feb. 11, from 10 a.m.-4 p.m.

The event is free to members or with admission to the sculpture garden. Family passes are $15 in advance by calling 414-446-8794 or $20 at the door.

Fun is the focus of the day, with outdoor art-making, studio activities, tours, tree-walks and other winter activities as weather permits.

A garden-wide Capture the Flag tournament with artist-made flags includes a “half-time” performance and an art-related tailgate activity. Screenings are planned for the conference room as well as Valentine-making in the art studio (morning) and candle-
making (afternoon).

In a repeat of last year’s crowd favorite, the pond will be painted. Kids of all ages are invited to watch or participate on foot, skis, snowshoes or skates (bring your own).

The Wisconsin Visual Artists juried exhibition, featuring the works of WVA Southeast Chapter members, will be on display in the indoor gallery and open for viewing.

Winter hours at the garden are 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday; noon.-5 p.m. Sunday. With the garden closed on Thursdays and Saturdays until March 11, the facilities are available as a conference and retreat center, and for event rentals.

The sculpture garden is owned and operated by the Bradley Family Foundation. For information, visit www.lyndensculpturegarden.org or 414-446-8794
