Thank You Sandwich High School Students

This week, students from Sandwich High School helped move the art installation, Concrete Distinction, to its new location within the Arbor Bowl here at Heritage. This collective piece, by artist Marybeth Lensel, is comprised of 5,000 individual pieces and was installed 20 years ago. A huge thank you to our friends at Sandwich High School!

To read more about Lensel's process and her inspiration, as well as see an incredible timelapse video of the Sandwich students at work, read Curator Amanda Wastrom's blog below.
