URSULA VON RYDINGSVARD
An active and influential member of Socrates' board since 2000, Ursula
has been a champion of young artists and a dedicated member of the Socrates
family since participating in one of the Park's earliest exhibitions,
Outside In, in 1987. She is a widely respected artist who has garnered
critical acclaim while earning the admiration of her peers. Ursula's signature
massive cedar structures are in the public collections of many distinguished
cultural institutions including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum
of Modern Art, Storm King Art Center, Laumeier Sculpture Park, the Walker
Art Center, and the Whitney Museum of American Art. She has had a recent
show of her outdoor work at Madison Square Park.
SHARON JONES AND THE DAP KINGS 8:30-10:00PM
Join us for an exclusive waterfront concert by the Soul / Funk sensation,
Sharon Jones and The Dap-Kings. Sharon's command of the stage in packed
venues across Europe, Canada, Australia, and the United States has earned
her the titles 'Queen of Funk' and 'the female James Brown'. Her
band, The Dap-Kings, who recently toured with Amy Winehouse and Mark Ronson,
have redefined a classic 60's retro sound with an irresistible raw groove.
