Past Events in 2012

Dec. 23, 2012 – Jan. 5, 2013
Clark Center closed to the public

Sunday, October 14, 2012, 2 p.m.
Bonsai Garden Grand Opening Celebration and Lecture, given by Bob Hilvers, Bonsai Curator

Supported by: The Bertha and John Garabedian Charitable Foundation

In order to provide our visitors a superior experience and to properly display the constantly growing collection the Clark Center has undertaken a multi-thousand dollar expansion and re-designing project of the bonsai exhibition area. Aided by the Fresno-based landscape architect Robert Boro, well-known for his Japanese-style garden designs, the bonsai exhibition area is being transformed into a true bonsai stroll garden. The new design follows the principle of "hide and reveal," sequentially disclosing new aspects to the visitor and creating an experience of anticipation that then slowly progresses to the discovery of beauty. Visitors of the new Clark Center Bonsai Garden will participate more actively than in the previous setting, guaranteeing a more personal, interpretive, and reflective experience.
