  • Saturday, May 3 – Sunday, October 12 – Art in Motion: 25 Years of Sculpture by George Sherwood

    Explore an extraordinary collection of kinetic sculptures, masterfully crafted by artist and engineer George Sherwood. Art in Motion spans an impressive 25 years of Sherwood’s artistic journey, showcasing 17 intricate stainless-steel sculptures that move in the wind and reflect the sunlight. Drawing inspiration from patterns and perspectives in nature such as birds in flight, ripples and reflections on the surface of water, and floral forms, each sculpture captures the dynamic forces of nature and reflects the beauty of our living world. Art in Motion invites visitors to find moments of tranquility and joy while considering the subtle, ongoing changes taking place in the natural world around us.

    Each sculpture featured in New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill’s Art in Motion is unique and interacts with its surroundings in its own special way. The pieces vary in shape, size, and movement, ranging from smaller more intimate sculptures to large-scale works reaching up to 21 feet. A collection of Sherwood’s work, Wind, Waves and Light, was featured at New England Botanic Garden in 2019. A few favorites from this collection return as part of Art in Motion along with pieces not previously displayed at the Garden and one new, never-before-seen sculpture. Discover them all this spring, summer, and fall!

    Art in the Orchard is a walking sculpture trail which winds through the Park Hill Orchard fruit gardens, located at 82 Park Hill Road in Easthampton. This third bienniel exhibition features the work of 28 selected sculptors. The self-guided trail is about a half-mile long. A walk through the labyrinth adds about a quarter mile.  Art in the Orchard is closed on Monday (except holidays). Please wear shoes and clothing appropriate for walking around farm fields and trails. Well behaved and leashed dogs may come to the sculpture trail but please no dogs in the PYO fruit areas.  There is no charge for parking. A donation of $5 per person or $20 per family or group is suggested. The money is given to the artists as an honorarium and to cover their expenses.

    The trail is a great destination for a family visit. Walking in the good air, high-minded sculpture, exceptional views, pick-your-own apples. Bring your friends from out-of-town and show them how we roll in the Happy Valley. Many people make an afternoon of it, bringing a picnic basket, lounging among the trees.
