The Silicon Valley Sculpture (SVS) fine art fair is the primary
fundraiser for Menlo Park Public Art (MPPA), a nonprofit organization
with the goal of defining Silicon Valley through public art. By
exhibiting large scale sculptures in the heart of Silicon Valley, we
are increasing access to art in an area where the importance of
technology has often surpassed the recognition of other forms of
culture. In addition to large-scale fine art sculptures with a
narrative exhibited in a natural environment, the event will include
performance art pieces that draw attention to pressing issues facing
the Silicon Valley community, such as privacy, equality, displacement.
This year´s theme is "Past, Present, Progressive." An art walk will
guide visitors through sculptures that represent all three ideas,
ending at Florence Moore Hall on the Menlo College Campus, where art
performances will take place. SCHEDULE: September 25, Friday 1 to 5 pm
