The Sculpture Park:Cold Hollow Sculpture Park in Enosburg Falls, Vermont offers visitors an opportunity to stroll five, rolling meadows on which are sited some fifty large-scale sculptures representing selected examples from four decades of work by nationally-known artist, David Stromeyer. Inspired by the rhythms, forms, patterns, and undulations of the Vermont landscape and committed to integrating his sculptures with the landscape, Stromeyer and his wife, Sarah, welcome all who wish to experience these works in their quiet, contemplative Cold Hollow setting. The Park will be open noon-6 PM, Thursdays-Sundays, June 15- October 14, 2019 inclusive of all holidays. [Enosburg Falls is one hour northeast of Burlington, four hours north of Boston, and seventy five miles southeast of Montreal.] History:In 1970, David Stromeyer, bought a two hundred acre former dairy farm in the foothills of the Cold Hollow Mountains in northern Vermont. This property would become “Cold Hollow Iron Works” consisting of his home (a refurbished post and beam horse barn), a world-class fabrication studio, and five meadows with surrounding woods for the siting of his works. Over the years, his sculptures have gone to exhibitions and to museum, private, university, corporate, and municipal collections across the U.S. Always he has returned to the Vermont land for inspiration and to site, study, and engage with his sculptures through all the seasons. The pieces in their habitat create an integrated whole of art and landscape. David and Sarah are committed to seeing large-scale sculpture unbounded by walls and urban density, in a less formal, natural setting. Pieces can be entered, walked through, viewed from varying distances and angles, in changing light, thus awakening and challenging one’s perceptions of space, color, and form. The Stromeyers believe there is a richness in this kind of ‘art experience’ and now wish to make it available to others. Their vision for the Park’s future includes the coming together of other arts and artists, educational projects concerning art and nature, guest artists making use of the studio, and the preservation of art and land. What to expect:Cold Hollow Sculpture Park presents a rare opportunity to see how one artist’s vision has evolved over nearly forty-five years, in the setting generative to the creation of his work. As Cold Hollow Iron Works continues to be an active fabrication facility, work is being created, coming,going, and re-sited. We hope that your visit will deepen understanding of David’s work, and of the profound yet subtle relationships of the natural and human-made worlds. Public Programs: We offer five (5) free public programs each season. Please check www.coldhollowsculpturepark.com for updates on the 2019 schedule. How to Visit:Touring will be self-guided and we will provide a printed guide. There is no admission fee. Visitors assume all risks. If you would like to take a sculpture home with you or underwrite one to remain at the park inperpetuity, we invite your purchase inquiry.
