Grounds For Sculpture (GFS) in Hamilton recently announced the retirement of two longstanding board members and the election of four new board members to its board of trustees. The two outgoing board members, Scott McVay and Yoram (Jerry) Wind, retired in December 2025; Jose Borbolla-Escoboza, Layo Bright, and John Y. Wind joined in 2025; and Manting Chiang began her service this month. With 26 years of combined service, McVay and Wind will leave an indelible impact on the sculpture park’s legacy while the new board members draw from broad expertise as community leaders in the arts and healthcare, strengthening GFS’ ability to advance its goals, particularly in the arts and wellness spaces in New Jersey and beyond.

“We’re deeply grateful for both Scott and Jerry’s longstanding service to Grounds For Sculpture,” said Gary Garrido Schneider, executive director at Grounds For Sculpture. “From their leadership on the Board’s Development and Arts Committees to their generous support of both horticulture and the arts, their impact on this organization is profound and enduring. As we welcome four new board members since last June, we are excited to build on this strong foundation and further expand GFS’s role as a cultural hub in New Jersey — advancing our commitment to art, horticulture, and wellness.”
