Better Waverly Youth Sculpture Garden
Rezumat
The Better Waverly Youth Sculpture Garden is a public artspace designed by children and youth. The land was acquired through the city's "adopt-a-lot" program, reclaiming a site on which four rowhouses had burned down. Children designed and built a mosaic pond and several cement sculptures. They have worked with Parks & People to plant flowers and trees. An artist in the MACA/MICA program donated a bench. It's a community work in progress and it could use some TLC! 901 Arts creative energy has gone into storm drain stenciling in recent times.

I like that the sculpture garden has a bench to sit on. I also like that it is an open space for us to have cookout and parties at.

At the ribbon cutting of the sculpture garden I had the chance to sing in front of a live audience. I sang "Patience" from Dreamgirls.

Before we built the sculpture garden with Ms. Alex it was nothing but overgrown grass and a burned out brick house but now it's beautiful!
