Outdoor Digital Photography Workshop on Sept. 17 Outdoor Digital Photography Workshop on Saturday, Sept. 17 Bring your digital cameras to a free outdoor digital photography workshop at Caponi Art Park on Saturday, September 17 at The workshop is free, with a $4 per person suggested donation. All ages welcome; children under 14 accompanied by an adult. New Sculpture Installation at the Art Park
Anthony Caponi, the park's founder and artistic director, has been busy developing a new installation with "Praying Mantis," a sculpture he made years ago from car parts. The piece was stolen from a private home in the Twin Cities, held for ransom, and later dropped off a highway bridge in St. Paul. "Praying Mantis" has made a long odyssey which came to an end when its owner donated it to the Art Park. This spring, Anthony Caponi spent hours repairing dents and restoring the sculpture. Come check out the new, permanent installation at Caponi Art Park during park hours! Volunteers play a huge role in the success of our events, beauty of the grounds, and office administration. Thank you to all of our volunteers so far this season; your time and talents allows us to continue to offer high quality, accessible arts and cultural programs to the community. As our way of saying "thanks!" all volunteers are invited to a volunteer appreciation bonfire on Thursday, September 15 at 6 p.m. Call 651.454.9412 for more information and to RSVP.
