Guided Tour of Sculpture at The Mount

August 30 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Sculpture at The Mount features works of contemporary outdoor sculpture in a range of media throughout The Mount’s vibrant woods, gardens, and grounds. This year’s exhibition celebrates 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.

These limited-capacity guided tours invite visitors to discover the stories behind the artwork. Stroll through the beautiful grounds as you explore a curated selection of sculptures from the exhibition. Along the way, you’ll hear behind-the-scenes insights, spark lively conversations, and share your own perspectives with fellow participants, making each stop an opportunity to see the art—and the landscape—in a whole new way.

Thanks to our sponsors, guided sculpture tours are free and open to the public! Please note: Capacity is limited—registration is required.
