contemporary – and their relationship to the natural
environment. He is a sculptor on the faculty at
UMass Lowell and is a Lifetime Fellow of the New
Hampshire State Council on the Arts.
THEME | PASSAGES
We chose the theme PASSAGES as it metaphorically
refers to the multiplicity of journeys made through
many dimensions within the 50-acre site. We are
looking for a variety of work and for creative
interpretations which arise from the time you spend
anywhere in this space.
Our site is listed on the National Register of Historic
Places and is home to a wide variety of flora and
fauna, and has a triumphal entry arch, woodland
paths, cobblestone walkways, a stone bridge, a
natural reflecting lily pond, a wild rose meadow, and
an English-style stone chapel built in 1909 with
Tiffany stained glass windows.
No rubbings may be done, and no names from
stones or monuments in the site are to appear in
artwork or in artist statements about the work.
Please let Ruth Naylor know via phone (978 475 1790)
or email (drruth2011 at gmail.com) prior to
beginning your work. Artists are encouraged to take
a Walking Tour of the grounds and may visit the site
multiple times. Opening hours are dawn to dusk.
