Students add art to Stone Ledge Sculpture Garden PLATTSBURGH—Nearly 70 fifth-grade artists from Oak and Bailey elementary schools gave the Stone Ledge Sculpture Garden a fresh burst of color last weekend. The visit was part of a field trip that included the creation of original artworks by the young artists, who then installed their work alongside the other sculptures in the garden.
