Food, fun and fire: Spring in the Park at Sculpture Fields

Spring in the Park at the Sculpture Fields will conclude with a sculpture burn created by Andrew Nigh. A 30-foot-high wooden sculpture has been designed with five structurally angled stanchions that hold protruding petals. As fire climbs the structure, each petal will appear to unfold as if blossoming as it burns.

The Sculpture Fields at Montague Park will mark its second anniversary with Spring in the Park on Saturday, April 7, from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.

This day of food, fun, art and music will be capped with a colossal sculpture burn that night. Visitors will witness the burn of a 30-foot wooden structure by artist Andrew Nigh when he sets his creation ablaze and flames shoot into the night sky.

“It’s a family-friendly day that last year drew around 7,000 people,” says Kathie Fulgham, interim executive director of the Sculpture Fields.

Nigh has been designing and creating his pyrokinetic outdoor sculptures for 15 years. Each sculpture is designed to inspire an emotional interaction with the viewer.

By day, his sculptures take on a form that draws visitors to explore the piece. By night, the sculpture transforms into an entirely new piece when it becomes a flaming torch.
