Please join Morris Arts on Wednesday, April 1st, at the Park Avenue Club for a free lecture by the artist Sassona Norton on her sculpture and the importance of monuments. This evening is the first in a series of special conversations with artists who share their artistic outlook with the public in an intimate and festive setting. Morris Arts selected sculptor Sassona Norton as the first artist in the series due to the public aspect of her unique vision.

Left: Sassona Norton’s monumental bronze 9/11 Memorial (Montgomery County, PA)
The 9/11 Memorial that Norton installed in Pennsylvania made her acutely aware of the role public-art takes in our life. In an exciting evening, the artist will tell the story of the 9/11 Memorial that propelled her to recently embark on planning a Hurricane Sandy monument to celebrate people’s strength against crisis. In a talk that includes a slide-show and a short movie about the 9/11 Memorial, Sassona Norton will unveil her plan for an incredible, dynamic and huge monument to Hurricane Sandy. Installed at the Hudson Waterfront, the monument will combine a sculpture of very large hands and a dramatic water-theater. On a clear day, it will be seen from as far as Lower Manhattan.
