Donations help us maintain the trail, bring in great artists, and keep it free for all. Thanks so much for the support!

Coming Soon: You won’t get lost without it, but the map is great for identifying artworks and artists when you’re on the trail.

THANK YOU WILSON FARM  for sharing your farmland for this trail and exhibit. Wilson Farm Market opens in May but you can find their culinary herbs, teas, elixirs, and salves all year round at wilsonherbfarm.com

  1. I loved seeing the art along the trail today. It’s really super and so much of it is well placed.
    I wonder if there is a map that l shows the sculptures and artists? And is it available online?
    I’m also curious to know if the vivid orange banners are an artist’s work or part of HCA’s contribution to the grounds?

    Thanks!

  2. what an awesome addition to include the work of Peter Schumann of the Bread And Puppet Theater on the ski and shows new trail again this year. His powerful iconic important political artisstic contributions Are stunning and powerful. Papier-mâché reliefs and recent giant painted bedsheets are stunning and impressive. please make sure to include him in your bio of artists, and don’t forget to visit in Bread And Puppet Museum just down the road! looking forward to the upcoming Bread And Puppet theater pop-up performances at the HCA!
