Art in the Park

Evelyn Herwitz · July 25, 2023 · 2 Comments

What could be more pleasant on a beautiful summer Sunday afternoon than a stroll through our Fair City’s oldest park to view sculptures on display? It’s an annual event that we always look forward to, and this year’s exhibition is one of the best I’ve seen.

To the clatter of teens practicing skateboard tricks, the click of dominoes accompanied by Latin music adrift on a breeze, and exhortations by a man in a tan suit preaching gospel, Al and I wandered through Worcester’s Elm Park admiring artworks. Here are my favorites. Enjoy!

I am not a doctor . . .

. . . and don’t play one on TV. While I strive for accuracy based on my 40-plus years of living with scleroderma, none of what I write should be taken as medical advice for your specific condition.

Scleroderma manifests uniquely in each individual. Please seek expert medical care. You’ll find websites with links to medical professionals in Resources.
