On Sunday, October 29, the sculpture proceeds from Kingston’s Hudson River Maritime Museum to Troy’s Federal Lock and Dam, which marks the end of the tidal estuary and the meeting of the Mohawk and Hudson Rivers.

The reception will take place at The Sanctuary for Independent Media. RSVP by October 15.
