  • Sunday, October 24, 1:00 pm – 4:30 pm – 10th Anniversary of the Contemporary Sculpture Path at Forest Hills

    Join the Forest Hills Educational Trust on Sunday, October 24 beginning at 1 pm for the 10th anniversary of the contemporary sculpture path.  Discover 28 works of temporary and permanent public art exhibited in the grand Victorian landscape of Forest Hills Cemetery.  At 1 pm there will be light refreshments, self-guided tours, and a family art tour.  At 1:15, see the unveiling Standing Ceres, and live music at the lake.  Many people mourned the loss of Kahlil Gibran’s sculpture of the goddess of harvest when it was stolen from Forest Hills in 2008.  Celebrate the return of Ceres, and welcome a new sculpture donated by the artist’s family.  Poetry readings commence at 2 pm, a flute concert in the pine forest with flutist Peter H. Bloom begins at 3, and finally, at 3:30, there will be a walking tour with participating artists, a complete list of whom may be found at www.foresthillstrust.org. All events are free, and there is a rain date of October 31, just in case.

  • Saturday, August 8, 5 – 8 pm – Opening Reception and Party for The River Project

    The Gustin Gallery, 231 Horseneck Road, Dartmouth, Massachusetts opens at 11 am on August 8 in conjunction with the opening of the sculpture exhibit at the Slocum’s River Reserve.  “The River Project: Sculpture at Slocum’s River Reserve” will feature six large-scale site-specific sculptures by six regional sculptors through March 13, 2010.  “The Slocum’s River Project: Thoughts and Processes” at the Gustin Gallery will feature drawings, sketchbooks and models by the six artists through November 8, 2009. Formerly known as Island View Farm, Slocum’s River Reserve includes mature woodlands, agricultural fields, and pastures that slope down to the western bank of the Slocum’s River. Two miles of trails cross the Reservation and connect to trail easements over an adjoining sixty acres of private land.

    The Reservation protects more than 3,000 feet of frontage along the Slocum’s River. Adjoining private farmland and pastures produce corn, alfalfa, and horticultural nursery stock and are used to graze livestock. The Trustees of Reservations and Dartmouth Natural Resources Trust (DNRT) jointly own and manage the property.

    This program is supported in part by a grant from the Dartmouth Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency
