Thanks to a gift from The Change Place and the volunteer efforts of former Parks and Recreation Director Roger Moellendorf, the Brewery Arts Center has just installed Harmony Sculpture Park, the first of its kind in Northern Nevada. The park is comprised of musical instruments for the outdoors that focus on social sustainability for public spaces. The BAC hopes this inclusive and wheelchair accessible park will encourage social participation, improve human performance, promote health and wellness and will be played by all people regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, mobility, visual or auditory limitations or mental ability. There is still room for more instruments and the BAC is hoping others will want to sponsor more instruments to fill out the area. A grand opening and ribbon-cutting is planned at 1 p.m. Nov. 22 at the BAC, 449 W. King St.
