Stone Quarry Hill Art Park, one of the first outdoor sculpture parks in the country, sits atop a breathtaking rural landscape of upstate New York hills, meadows and forests. Tucked into these elements of natural beauty are Stone Quarry’s heart: original, one-of-a-kind works of art. The Art Park serves a dual mission: preservation of the land, and to the creation and exhibition of sculpture, inspired by the relationship between art and nature. Sculptures are placed throughout the more than 100 acre site: in fields and woodlands, along hedgerows and trails and beside or even in ponds or gardens. Most are created especially for the Art Park, and many are designed to dissolve eventually back into nature. The park reflects the dynamism of both art and nature, as every exhibition brings new work and every season takes some away. The Art Park is open year-round, everyday from dawn to dusk. We are located one mile east of Cazenovia, NY, off of U.S. Route 20. See our website for directions and lots of details on our art exhibitions and artists.
