The company developed ties to the surrounding community by providing gallery spaces in The Heidrich for institutions of art such as the Jane Voorhees Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers University, the Judith K. and David J. Brodsky Center, New Brunswick ( Mason Gross School of Arts-Rutgers) and the Grounds For Sculpture, Hamilton. The Arts Inclusion Program is part of the Public Building Art Inclusion Act, which mandates that the Council on the Arts maintain a registry of visual artists (Visual Arts Registry) for state-financed building projects.
For several years my sister has raved about a fabulous restaurant at the Grounds for Sculpture (a 35-acre public sculpture park) near Princeton, New Jersey. She loves everything about the place-the setting, the ambiance, the food, the service. I've never been there, but I have a hard time considering a place named Rat's an upscale dining experience. Yes, there's a literary back story to the name (a character from The Wind in the Willows), but I can't get past the fact that it's called Rat's. Upon being seated-outdoors- we were immediately asked what kind of water we'd like (we chose tap) and it was brought promptly. And then we sat. It was a lovely evening, we were enjoying each other's company, so we weren't upset, but we did try to signal someone-anyone-in order to get menus. In their...

What was once the site of agricultural exchange, animal contests and car races is now a place where nature and art coexist harmoniously. Where popular Impressionist paintings have become 3- D, but with a mischievous twist. Where a little bit of Claude Monet's Giverny inhabits a little bit of Hamilton. The aptly named Grounds For Sculpture, is a year-round outdoor contemporary sculpture museum that occupies 35 acres and three exhibition buildings of the former New Jersey State Fairgrounds in Mercer County.
New Jersey chef Kevin Sbraga still finds it incredible that he was able to out-cook the competition to win season seven of Bravo's "Top Chef" reality TV series. He says he surprised himself that he even entered the culinary contest that ended in September with Sbraga capturing not only the "Top Chef" title, but also the prizes that accompanied it: $125,000, a feature in Food & Wine magazine, and a showcase at the magazine's annual event in Aspen, Colo.

True, it's not near the shore, but Rat's is definitely one of the Garden State's most day-trip-worthy destination restaurants. Located in the heart of the Grounds for Sculpture in Hamilton, on the outskirts of Trenton, a visit to Rat's is a celebration of the arts: a dazzling blend of children's literature, French impressionism, modern sculpture, and, of course, culinary creativity. The unusual name comes from the rakish character in "The Wind in the Willows," and yes, the vibrant decor does have shades of storybook whimsy. But the atmosphere is primarily that of an elegant country French chateau. Exit the restaurant to tour the grounds, and you step straight into a Claude Monet canvas. The lily-pad-strewn pond, the familiar arched bridge, the weeping willows and colorful blooms ... it...
