Art in Nature

Visit the sprawling Fruitlands Museum in Harvard, Mass. and enjoy the second Art-in-Nature Sculpture Competition. Ten talented sculptors have brought their work to Fruitlands. Winners will be picked in October and will include one chosen by a panel of judges and one winner of a popular vote. Be sure to pick up your sculpture map at the admissions counter and hand in your ballot at the end of your visit! May 11 - November 3, 2013

The Elephant Oracle is the wise old one to whom we turn in times of confusion, doubt and indecision. The Elephant has a memory that never forgets. Perhaps it is a paradox that one who knows so much says so little. Yet, in its presence, we find the courage in ourselves to listen.

Update: Chris Bergeron featured this piece in a glowing art review, 'Sculptors transform bucolic Fruitlands into a contemporary sculpture park' for the Metro West Daily News , June 2, 2013.
