Andres Institute of Art

The Andres Institute of Art is a sculpture garden spread across hills and woodland grounds featuring over 100 artworks. A network of paths connects the sculptures and winds through different natural zones of the property.

Paul Andres and sculptor John Weidman founded this art space in 1996, converting a former ski area into an outdoor sculpture park. This transformation created New England's largest space of its kind.

Artists from around the world come to create new works that become permanent additions to the collection. Visitors can witness how different artistic perspectives shape the outdoor space over time.

The grounds are accessible daily from sunrise to sunset, and visitors can bring leashed dogs along the paths. Knowledgeable guides are available on-site to provide additional information about the artworks.

One artwork is a functional stone and metal piece that serves as a seating spot along the walking trails. Visitors can experience the artworks in a surprisingly practical way.
