Details

The Pard Morrison Installation celebration will take place Saturday, April 18 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and will feature dance, music, and other performances celebrating the installation of Morrison’s large-scale sculptural columns.
As part of the event, students, faculty, and community members are invited to participate in creating miniature versions of the columns, called “mini-Pards.” Using 4” × 2” × 15” multicolored wooden strips, participants can add their own colors and creative touches to echo the design of the full-scale work.
The completed mini-Pards will be placed along the borders of the flower garden beds near UCA Plaza, just in front of the white planting label stands and adjacent to Pard’s columns, forming a temporary “Pard Garden.” Together, these small sculptures will create a community-built installation that extends through the space and reflects the theme of “That Which Holds Us Together.”
All attendees are welcome to join the activity and contribute their own creative interpretation to this collaborative, temporary installation inspired by Pard Morrison’s work.
