Friends Of Westfield Memorial Library Add New Museum To Museum Pass Program

By Roz Giuditta

The Friends of the Westfield Memorial Library are pleased to announce the addition of Storm King Art Center to their highly acclaimed Museum Pass Program.

The Center, located in the lower Hudson Valley, is widely celebrated as one of the world’s leading sculpture parks. Storm King was established in 1960 and features a pristine 500-acre landscape of fields, hills, and woodlands providing the setting for a collection of more than 100 carefully sited sculptures. Every work of sculpture, created by some of the most acclaimed artists of our time, has been sited with consideration of both its immediate surroundings and distant views.

Storm King Art Center, located in New Windsor, New York just 90 minutes north of Westfield, is open from April through November. Free passes are available at Westfield memorial Library and admit two adults or a family of two adults plus all children under 18 years of age.
