Take A Historical Art Walk Through Rutgers Gardens

NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ — From 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, September 25 (rain date: September 26), the Rutgers School of Environmental and Biological Sciences and Rutgers University’s Mason Gross School of the Arts will co-host a two-mile walk winding from Douglass Campus through Cook Farm to Rutgers Gardens.

This is a free walk that is open to all to attend.

The walk is called March 2RUGardens and is meant to underscore the rich and varied history of the land on which Rutgers University is built. The walk will also "highlight the desire for equal access to the 180 acres of recreational space contained in the gardens," situated off Ryders Lane in New Brunswick, say organizers.

March2RUGardens is free and open to the public.

During the walk, participants will encounter a movement choir, as well as live music and storytelling and an introduction to the famed Fluxus art movement, among other activities.

In the Cow Tunnel beneath Rt. 1, listen for a performance of an immersive sound score from the Rutgers University Voorhees Choir. Along the way, walkers will encounter students' sound and landscape installations, as well as fanfare from the Marching Scarlet Knights and various short talks about Rutgers campus land.

Dr. Julia Ritter, professor in the Rutgers dance department and Dr. Anette Freytag, a landscape architecture professor, will lead the walk.
