NH
The collection at the Andres Institute of Art is over 100 works placed in nature along 12 miles of trails on 140 acres in rural Brookline, NH. The park is open daily, dawn to dusk and is always free to the public. There are a handful of works by resident Master Sculptor John Weidman. The remaining works were created at the studio on the hill during the annual sculpture symposium each fall. 2024 will mark the 24th symposium. To date, there are 101 symposium-generated works by artists representing 50 countries.
The Charter: To advance the state of technology in the arts through access to new technology, education in existing technology, and application of technology to the creative process. To create a self-supporting art production facility within a sculpture park. To provide a space which will enhance the physical and emotional well-being of visitors with walking trails combining the beauty of nature with human works.

Accessibility of Services:
Our Welcome Center has a ramped main entrance. There is an elevator to the performance area on the second floor. There is elevator access to a parking level entrance away from the main entrance.
The park grounds are on a former ski hill so the terrain can be challenging. There is a paved driveway to the studio 2/3 of the way up the hill and several works are viewable from the pavement. Permission to drive to the studio can be arranged using the contact information on the website.Awards:
