THERE’S MORE TO EXPLORE THIS SUMMER ALL SEASON LONG Daily, 10 a.m.–5 p.m. Welded Steel: Shape, Form and Light
This art-in-nature installation by Adirondack artist Barney Bellinger is a collaboration with Tupper Arts. More than a dozen of Bellinger’s industrial metal sculptures can be found on campus. Many of the works can be seen on our Forest Music trail, where you can also listen to “Iron Harvest,” a composition by Eric Sturr inspired by Bellinger’s work.
Hopscotch, a Stickwork sculpture by Patrick Dougherty
Dougherty and a group of volunteers spent weeks bending, weaving, snagging and flexing sustainably sourced local saplings to create a whimsical immersive art piece open to Wild Center vistors.
