As part of a small and informal group, discover the story behind Sculpture Embraces Horticulture, a site-specific sculpture exhibit created to highlight Blithewold’s exquisite landscape. We will view diverse exhibits, and Blithewold, through the eyes of Allison Newsome, the show’s curator, as well as one of the seven participating artists.
As we go through the entire collection, Allison will share information about each artist, as well as give us a glimpse into the process of creating a large-scale sculpture installation.
Please register early, as tour groups are kept small. Wearing comfortable footwear is encouraged. The tour lasts approximately 1.5 hours, after which refreshments will be served on the terrace. Tours will take place Thursdays, August 7, 14, 21 and 28, beginning at 3 pm. Blithewold Gardens & Arboretum is located at 101 Ferry Road, Route 114, Bristol, Rhode Island.
