Event Series Event Series: Jeffrey Rubinoff Sculpture Park

Jeffrey Rubinoff Sculpture Park

July 6, 2023 @ 9:30 am - 1:30 pm

FREE

First opened to the public in 2008, the 200 hectare Jeffrey Rubinoff Sculpture Park is home to a collection of over a hundred of Jeffrey Rubinoff’s sculptures. The Park is situated on a farm purchased by Rubinoff in 1973 for the purpose of the creation and storage of his work. Rubinoff repurposed its barn, originally built in 1889, into a fabrication and casting studio, and worked there from 1980 until his death in 2017.

The Sculpture Park is open to the public for self-guided viewing or curator-guided tours from mid-July to mid-August each year. In addition to openings for the general public to view the sculpture, other events and openings are held throughout the year.

Jeffrey Rubinoff wanted the Park to be a place for the appreciation of non-commodity values of art. As such, there is no charge for admittance, or for tours, concerts, or eventsThe sculptures are permanently sited. They are not for sale, and cannot be shown in another museum or any other context.

Jeffrey Rubinoff was born in London, Ontario, in 1945. He studied fine art in the United States and completed his Masters of Fine Arts in 1969. On his return to Canada, he pursued an artistic career in both countries, including solo shows at the (Helen) Mazelow Gallery in Toronto, the Ontario Science Centre in Toronto, the Nathan Manilow Sculpture Park in Chicago, Queen’s Park in Toronto, and York University in Toronto, as well as being shown at Marlborough Gallery and Two Sculptors Gallery in New York.
