2026 Programming

Among the Sculptures: The Park's Monthly Public Program Series
Cold Hollow Sculpture Park is a place of encounters: between art and landscape, sound and silence, the made thing, and the natural world. Programs enrich the visitor experience with hands-on, participatory events and performances led by artists, musicians, and naturalists exploring art, nature, and ideas. Most events are held on Saturdays. Admission to the Park is by donation. 

All presentations are followed by ample time for questions and conversation. Join our email list to receive additional information as each program approaches.
