Ribbon cutting ceremony for Calder Gardens on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway

Gov. Josh Shapiro cuts the ribbon at opening of Calder Gardens on Ben Franklin Parkway, noting that the event was happening during “an extremely divisive time in this great nation.” The latest art institution to be built on the Parkway, the gardens are dedicated to the work of Alexander “Sandy” Calder, the great American sculptor born in Philadelphia in 1898. During the ribbon cutting ceremony, Shapiro said the arts are one of the few things that “allows us to speak a common language.”
