Friday, May 24 – Opening of Sculpture at The Mount 2024

by

The Mount in Lenox, Massachusetts is pleased to announce that the annual outdoor sculpture exhibition produced in the Berkshires by SculptureNow for the past twenty-five years—and at The Mount for the past nine years—has been brought in-house as a formal Mount program, beginning with the 2024 exhibit! Twenty-five sculptures from artists across the region have been selected for The Mount’s annual exhibition.

With the retirement of SculptureNow’s founder and executive director, Ann Jon, the timing was right for a transition that promises a dynamic future for the further convergence of art and nature in the Berkshires. Below is a selection from Audrey Shachnow’s Golden Pears, which will be on display. For more information visit https://www.edithwharton.org/calendar/sculpture/

Saturday, May 11, 10:00 am – 1:00 pm – Inland Pine Barrens

by

Glacial outwash creates an unusual inland sandplain habitat of pitch pine (Pinus rigida) and scrub oak (Quercus ilicifolia) amidst forest and wetland in a 600-acre area known as “The Desert” at the Memorial Forest of Sudbury Valley Trust. Come observe this special plant community and its associated wildlife while learning about efforts to restore fire-dependent sandplain habitats through prescribed burns. This Native Plant Trust easy hike will also feature red pine and black huckleberry. The walk will be led by Neela de Zoysa on May 11 from 10 – 1, and is $51 for NPT members, $60 for nonmembers.
