tured in the parade in years past,
Bradford’s walking contraptions,
otherworldly beings and wall
sculptures will be on display inside
the museum. We invite everyone
to see up close how Bradford takes
discarded scrap metal and gives it
new life. There will also be kids’
crafts areas hosted by Manhattan
Art Program and refreshments.
Salvaged Species will be on
view from April 6th through June
30th. Known by his nickname,
“Scrapdaddy”, Bradford’s work
has been exhibited in museums
around the world. He has worked
in Texas for over three decades
drawing upon the scrapped and
discarded remains of commerce
and industry and transforming
them into creatures, vehicles and
other sculptures that are recogniz-
able in their source material yet
completely novel in their repur-
posing.
