If you haven’t been over to the Storm King Art Center on Old Pleasant Hill Road in Mountainville recently, you may want to stop by one day to enjoy the art and some of the new features introduced recently at the 500-acre sculpture park, a museum that celebrates the relationship between art and nature.
Visitors will want to check out the new earthworks installation by artist Maya Linn, the Storm King Wavefield, which combines the peaceful beauty of a grass-covered field with the calming sense of waves, as well as more than 100 sculpture pieces by pre-eminent artists of the past fifty years.
Trained docents now ride on the tram tours through the park, offering insight and background information about the artists and their work on display. Special tours and concerts are offered virtually every weekend.
Beginning this summer, visitors may bring a picnic to eat at the park or, on the weekends, purchase a fresh, locally-grown salad, wrap, sandwich or drink from Woody’s Café at Storm King Storm, which is operated by Cornwall’s Woody’s All Natural Restaurant.
Storm King Art Center now opens at 10 a.m., an hour earlier than before, and stays open on Saturdays until 8 p.m. through the summer. To find out more about what artful delights await the visitor to the Center, visit www.stormkingartcenter.org.
