Sculpture at the Mount

May 24–October 24

Contemporary Sculpture at The Mount

Sculpture at The Mount features works of contemporary outdoor sculpture in a range of media throughout the vibrant woods, gardens, and grounds of The Mount.

This year’s Sculpture at The Mount exhibition will celebrate the theme of FLOURISH, showcasing artwork that conveys connection, growth, hope, flora and fauna, resilience, and the ways that a community thrives by bringing people together.

Learn more about the exhibition by joining one of our guided tours, poetry readings, or workshops. Audio guides in English and Spanish are available, and a virtual exhibition is available on our website. This inspiring convergence of art and nature is free and open to the public daily from dawn until dusk.

There is great synergy between Wharton's literary legacy and the compelling narratives expressed through contemporary sculpture. Sculpture at The Mount offers visitors the opportunity to explore the intersection of literature, sculpture, and nature.
