Sculpture at The Mount
LENOX, Mass. — The Mount, Edith Wharton's Home, announced that the annual outdoor sculpture exhibition produced in the Berkshires for the past twenty-five years officially opens on Sunday, June 2.
Visitors can experience the exhibition for free every day of the week, from dawn until dusk, until October 20. Audio tours in Spanish and English are available, in addition to a printed map.
Showcasing the work of both emerging and established artists, Sculpture at The Mount is a platform for contemporary sculpture in Western MA and beyond, featuring a diverse range of sculptures in many sizes and media thoughtfully sited throughout The Mount's lush gardens and grounds. Preview the works here.
"There is great synergy between Wharton's literary legacy and the compelling narratives expressed through contemporary sculpture," Susan Wissler, executive director of The Mount said. "The exhibition encourages visitors to explore the intersection of literature, sculpture, and nature."
The public is invited to a special Meet the Artists event on Sunday June 23, at 3PM, where the 24 artists will share their stories and visions next to their pieces. Artist-led tours will also be available monthly.
Tour registration and more information about this year's installation is available at https://www.edithwharton.org/calendar/sculpture/.
