Several Work Ethic artists spend the day at the BMA staging

can be. Schedule of Events.
Hugh Pocock’s Drilling a Well
for Water
Beginning Sunday, October 12
Artist Hugh Pocock will drill a well in the BMA’s sculpture
gardens, retrieve water, and add it to the Museum’s heating and

On view during Museum hours.
