Calder Gardens announced the appointment of Juana Berrío as Senior Director of Programs and set a September 2025 opening date. Ballinger is serving as Executive Architect of Calder Gardens, alongside Herzog & de Meuron and Piet Oudolf. Ballinger is also the Structural Engineer of Record, in collaboration with Guy Nordensen and Associates.
Excerpted from Calder Gardens:
The Board of Trustees of Calder Gardens announced today that the new cultural destination on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway will open in September 2025 and that curator, educator, and arts programmer Juana Berrío has been appointed as the Marsha Perelman Senior Director of Programs. With a building conceived by Pritzker Prize-winning design practice Herzog & de Meuron and gardens by internationally acclaimed Dutch landscape designer Piet Oudolf, Calder Gardens will unite the art of Alexander Calder with nature and architecture to create an oasis that invites introspection and nurtures human connection.
I am thrilled to join Calder Gardens, a unique space that integrates art, architecture, and nature to invite self-reflection.
Juana Berrío Newly Appointed Marsha Perelman Senior Director of Programs
Alexander S. C. Rower, President of the Calder Foundation, Chair of the Calder Gardens Curatorial Committee, and Calder’s grandson, said, “Calder Gardens is an entirely new type of cultural institution focused on nurturing introspection and personal growth through the art and ideas of my grandfather—one of the most influential artists of the modern era. Juana Berrío’s expertise and wide-ranging interdisciplinary experience—shaped by openness, compassion, and curiosity—make her ideal for this essential role at Calder Gardens. We look forward to being inspired by her dynamic, unexpected programming.”
