Arts Appreciation Night will include a tour of the artwork at the stadium, dance performance with Fab-5 and Rhubarb, a hands-on art project with the Museum of Glass' Kids Design Glass program, live performances by several local arts groups and other arts activities.
The tour of public art will begin at 5:30 p.m. by the general admission gates and will include brief talks by the artists about their work including Beliz Brother's massive-scale light sculpture, Tilt; David Franklin's LED-lit school of salmon, Home Run; Paul Michaels' bronze sculpture of Ben Cheney; Jennevieve Schlemmer's baseball-themed mosaic, It's Outta Here; and the Museum of Glass' installation of fine art glass.
