~LAND ART~

2020 will be a great year to visit!  For the first time, Franconia Sculpture Park will have a theme each season; with artists creating new, experiential work.  Artists have been invited to create their art within the park taking into account the land and space the art occupies.

~THE ARTISTS~

Franconia Sculpture Park will be showcasing land art from artists based in Chicago (Alberto Aguilar), New York (Ryan Turley), and San Diego (Ashley Blalock), who will be living and working at Franconia to create art mindful of the space in which they are creating it.

~TOUR THE PARK~

Nearly 150 sculptures await!  You can take a self guided tour any day of the year, dawn til dusk.  Or join a one-hour, artist led, guided tour to learn more about the art and the artists.  Free guided tours are given every Sunday April-October.
