ESSEX COUNTY, NJ — After nine years as artistic director/curator of the Wildflower Sculpture Park in the South Mountain Reservation, Tricia Zimic is handing over the reins to Newark artist Lisa Sanders. 

Sanders, who has two permanent pieces in the sculpture park, will be supported by a team devoted to the visual arts and the reservation. Collectively, the team brings extensive experience as artists and curators, plus backgrounds in fundraising, marketing and social media, graphic arts, and landscape design. The team members are Greg Leshe, Joanne Beckerich, Elyse Reissman, Sally Fica and Jacqueline Mayers. 

The reception/opening for this year’s annual exhibits is set for Friday, June 4. To contact Sanders, send an email to sculpturepark@somocon.org.
