Sculpture Park
On your next visit you’ll notice that dramatic changes are afoot. A woodland pathway will provide easier access to the Sculpture Park for visitors and will allow for easier installation of woodland sculptures. Great things are happening around the Art Center and the Sculpture Park. More information about 27 acres for the Arts
AAC’s Sculpture Park welcomes everyone from school children and families to art enthusiasts and tourists. The Sculpture Park has been recognized on the national level with public project grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, The Pew Charitable Trusts, the Andy Warhol Foundation, and the MidAtlantic Arts Foundation.
A visit to the Sculpture Park begins at the outdoor Welcome Area where you can find information about our 27 acre park and the sculptures currently on view. None of the outdoor sculpture at Abington Art Center is permanent. The artists are invited to respond to the landscape with semi-permanent, temporary and ephemeral sculptures. Each year a new season “opens” in June with new Sculpture Park installations and a corresponding indoor gallery exhibition that allows visitors to get a deeper understanding of the participating sculptors’ work.
Environmental issues and images run deep in AAC’s Sculpture Park. The woodland landscape lends itself to the development of sculpture that comments on human impact on the environment, reveals the cycles of nature, and uses natural materials. Every visit to the Sculpture Park is different based on the light, the weather and the seasons. It takes about 1 hours to visit the entire park. Most paths are easy to navigate, a few are temporary or can be more challenging depending on your shoes. Signs will help you along the way.
