Down in the Art Lab, children dipped brushes and colored pencils in water and created crabs scuttling across white sheets, apples rolling across hilltops, and landscapes bursting off the page. The colors of the sculptures started to warm up in the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden as spring sank its green fingers into the landscape. Visitors watched the bell in For Whom… sway silently and circled Hare on Bell on Portland Stone Piers until they were dizzy. Everyone marveled at the Walker on the First Free Saturday in May.
