Live music | Free & open to the public

Lakewood’s 250 acres are filled with memorial markers, structures and sculptures built to pass the test of time. On Friday, July 12, we will welcome a very different kind of creation. Artist Day Schildkret will use natural materials he has gathered from the cemetery and its surroundings over the course of several days to create a large-scale tribute to love and loss, using a hands-on practice that combines mindfulness, creative expression and connection with nature.

 You are invited to come and watch the creation take shape, talk to the artist as he works and perhaps get the chance to contribute an object to the composition.
