More than thirty years in the making, the 200-acre Jeffrey Rubinoff Sculpture Park is home to over a hundred steel sculptures – artist Jeffrey Rubinoff’s life’s work.
“The purpose of Rubinoff’s work is to rekindle the historical spirit of modernism. In addition to viewing that work which includes the Sculpture Park itself, the goal is to revive the interdisciplinary creative impetus of early modernism and to attain the understanding of art as a serious and a credible source of special insight for the evolution of ideas.” Jeffrey Rubinoff
