I'm writing to let you know about a global Solstice event this Friday, Dec. 21st that you might want to participate in. greenmuseum.org, the new online museum of environmental art, is trying to getpeople from as many different countries as possible to send in a digital image of the sunrise of the Solstice. The more timezones and continents represented, the better. These will all be assembled together online to document the sun as it sweeps across the earth and show how a common event unites us all. Please forward this to as many countries, groups and people you can think of if you can. The focus is to get word out to as many time zones as possible. I know it's limited to people with digital cameras and internet access but there are people out there who have them and given the technology, it's worth a try! Happy holidays, and please tell people about the Solstice. Thanks!

GFS is a cultural treasure visited by more than 50,000 a year.On a more personal note, it is my privilege and delight to join my colleagues at the ISC headquarters in looking out at Grounds For Sculpture from our office windows every day and enjoy the changing sculpture, landscaping and seasons.

Randy, I've been receiving your newsletter for a few months now and I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate all the effort you've put into it. Though I'm in my mid-50s, I've just begun shaping this new career in sculpture. For the time being, it must run concurrently with my "regular" occupation. Though I've had pieces in a number of gallery shows and done an outdoor site-specific installation, I've not yet pursued a public art project. So your newsletter is very interesting as it explores many of the issues involved in public art projects. Thank you, Don Parsisson Akron, OH P.S. Despite your disclaimer, at least some of the web addresses came through as hyperlinks in the latest issue. hi reandy, i am looking to rent studio space in brooklyn,if u have any info it will help thank u ,yasmin I'm interested in the proposal made by the Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority, I have tried to reach them via fax, the only way to communicate with them, but they never answer. For this reason, I ask you please to let me know if there is another way to contact them, a website, or an email address, for example. I would be really thankful. Thak you for your prompt answer. Kind regards, Ricardo Vivar Dear Randy, Do you know where I can get a collection of slides of sculpture gardens/parks? I have some from parks where I have sculptures myself, but I have been asked to to a presentation on sculpture parks and would like to find some more. If people could send me copies of slides, I would be glad to reimburse expenses for copying and mailing. I have also be asked to help develop a new park, so I will be sending on information about that too.
