ABOUT
The Silicon Valley Sculpture (SVS) fine art fair is the primary source for Menlo Park Public Art (MPPA), a nonprofit organization with the goal of defining Silicon Valley through public art.
By exhibiting large-scale sculptures in the heart of Silicon Valley, we are increasing access to art in an area where the importance of technology has often surpassed the recognition of other forms of culture.
In addition to large-scale fine art sculptures with a narrative exhibited in a natural environment, the event will include performance art that draws attention to pressing issues facing the Silicon Valley community, such as privacy, equality, displacement.
This year´s theme is "Shifting Perspectives." An art walk will guide visitors through sculptures that represent our theme throughout the campus.
My profound gratitude goes to the Menlo College community for providing us with a stunning, minimalist environment to showcase these artworks in grand style.

Country or State or City, and what you specifically like about it:
Black Rock City, NV. To me, Black Rock City is the most awe-inspiring art exhibit in the world by its nature, and by what Burning Man artists create, and bring to this beautiful blank desert canvas. The transient city that rises out of the dust for one week per year is a place filled with magic and community spirit I have never experienced anywhere else. Being exposed to the raw natural elements of this ancient lakebed desert environment with the dark Black Rock mountains rising into the sky on either side is magnificent. The display of colors during sunrise and sunset, as well as the deep dark star-filled night sky alone, are spectacular, and experiencing the collective creativity of Black Rock City in this environment completes the picture.
