Luna Parc: A 35‑Year‑Old Artist’s Home‑Gallery in New Jersey

For more than three decades, Ricky Boscarino has transformed his house and surrounding acreage in Sandyston, New Jersey, into a sprawling, eye‑popping gallery. The eclectic space—known as Luna Parc—features sculptures, ceramics, mosaics, and an electric garden that blurs the line between art and living environment.

From Home to Gallery

Boscarino’s journey began in the early 1980s when he started collecting and creating art on his property. Over time, the house and its 8.5 acres evolved into a curated exhibition that visitors can wander through at their leisure. The layout is intentionally informal, encouraging guests to explore the layers of color, texture, and light that Boscarino has woven into the landscape.

Eclectic Canvas: Sculptures, Ceramics, and Mosaics

The gallery’s centerpiece is a collection of large‑scale sculptures that range from whimsical to abstract. Complementing these are hand‑crafted ceramics and intricate mosaics that decorate pathways, walls, and garden beds. Each piece reflects Boscarino’s personal aesthetic—a blend of playful imagination and meticulous craftsmanship.

The Electric Garden

One of Luna Parc’s most striking features is its “electric garden.” This outdoor installation incorporates LED lighting, kinetic elements, and interactive displays that animate the night landscape. The lights pulse in sync with the surrounding art, creating a dynamic experience that changes with the time of day.

Visitor Experience

Serena Altschul, a CBS News correspondent, visited Luna Parc to showcase the space to a national audience. She noted the seamless integration of art and nature, and how the garden’s electric elements add a layer of wonder for visitors. The site is open to the public, offering a unique opportunity to experience art in a living, breathing environment.
