Ideal vacation timing would be during the five weeks the studio is closed:

June 24th-July 10th, and August 13th– September 5th

Sculpture Dance Tour at the Fells Sunday Sept 26th

by

Reflecting this summer’s sculpture theme of Stillness and Motion, dancers from the professional dance company Ballet Misha (of Manchester) will return to the John Hay Estate at The Fells this summer to perform an exploratory collaboration between sculpture and dance. Visitors follow a self-guided tour of the grounds where they will see dancers performing improvisational dance inspired by the sculptures. Dancers will interact with the sculptures, exploring the dynamics of stillness and motion. Several of the sculptors and gallery artists will be present to discuss their work. Guests can move through the exhibits at their leisure to see the dancers, sculptures and art, and meet the artists. Bring a picnic to enjoy in the garden, on the veranda, or in the pavilion.

Members: free, Non-Members: included in regular admission fee.
