LANDSCAPE IMPROVEMENTS The Greensburg Art Center is pleased to announce more landscape improvements are forthcoming. The view of the Art Center and its Sculpture Garden from Route 30 is taking on a “new and improved” look. The large metal sculptures designed by famed Seton Hill Sculptor, Josefa Filkosky, have been repaired and refinished by Rocky Mountain Garage. Josefa was an art instructor at Seton Hill College from 1959-1999 when she died. The sculptures’ new bright colors bring life to the grassy area.
Thanks to a Grant from the Lincoln Highway Corridor and donations from the MEMBERS and Community, a border of boulders, trees and shrubs will be installed by Greene Landscape along the property that is adjacent to Route 30. The border will include lighting, bringing visual attention to the Sculpture Garden and safety to the parking lot.
Thanks to Mary Yeager, Tami Krusper, Rose Sovyak and Pat Majcher for weeding and trimming the gardens around the center. Anyone wishing to join this group is very welcome. If you see a weed, pull it.
