All people are warmly invited to a series of lively evenings for a free dialogue and an interchange of ideas between artists and everyone interested in art of three dimensions. FSP artists and alumni converge at the park twice a month, from June through October, for Three Dimensional Thursday Symposiums. The evenings’ events will include dinner with Franconia resident artists ($10 donation), examples of alumni and/or resident artists’ current artwork and a freewheeling discussion between artists, critics, philosophers, poets, and you!.

Franconia’s first annual 3-D Music Festival invites musical artists to the Franconia Sculpture Park to perform bi-monthly on Saturdays from July until October. The musicians perform in the Franconia Earthen Amphitheater, which was completed in July of 2009. The 3-D Music Festival exposes our community to a wide range of musical artists over the course of four months, while featuring tours and the continuous exhibition of world-class sculpture on view at Franconia. Event organizer Woody McBride has coordinated the diverse mix of musical artists for the 8 performances that comprise the 3-D Music Festival. This music festival encompasses a wide range of musical genres to create a diverse family friendly art and music cultural event for our entire community. The 3-D Music Festival significantly expands the park’s existing cultural event programming with a summer-long series of musical performances on June 12th and 26th , July 10th and 24th , August 14th and 28th , September 11th and October 9th . From 4 to 8PM. Food will be available at the Lizard Lounge, Franconia's own " you betcha brat shop " Tours of the Park will be given during the break.

Come be a part of the fun and hands-on creativity! During each workshop, children spend the afternoon creating sculptures with the assistance of resident artists and artist interns. Materials (usually lumber and other wood), tools, and technical assistance are provided to accomplish virtually any construction. Franconia provides one artist-assistant for every 2 children.We welcome children ages 4 to 18. At the end of the day, all sculptures are exhibited and photos are taken to document the talent of the young artists. Call 651-257-6668 or e-mail kidsmakesculpture@franconia.org.

This event is sponsored in part by the St. Croix Valley Community Foundation
and the Wisconsin Arts Boards with funds from the State of Wisconsin.
