WOODSTOCK ARTISTS ASSOCIATION + MUSEUM: 2026 Inaugural Sculpture Park

This summer 2026, the Woodstock Artists Association presents a Sculpture Park featuring works by 14 artists installed on the organization's grounds. The artworks all respond to the natural woodlands and surrounding stream of this unique oasis located in the center of the village. Exhibition hours: Wed - Sun 12 - 5 PM

Curated by Jen Dragon, the exhibition brings together a dynamic group of artists whose works engage with the landscape of the village of Woodstock through diverse approaches to form, material, scale, and site-specific installation. Set within WAAM’s outdoor grounds, in both the front and back of the building, the exhibition invites visitors to experience sculpture in direct conversation with the natural environment. From abstract and conceptual works to figurative and experimental forms, the exhibition highlights the richness and diversity of contemporary sculptural practice in the Hudson Valley and beyond.

The Outdoor Sculpture Park Exhibition inaugurates a new tradition at WAAM, expanding opportunities for artists to present work in an open-air setting while offering visitors an immersive encounter with contemporary sculpture throughout the summer season.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Jenne Currie: Jenne Currie’s sculpture Mother and Child balances sculptural space against the architecture of Woodstock village. Shadows made by the entwined edges constantly change in the shifting ambient light. These fluid silhouettes allow the passage of time and its accompanying shadows to serve as a structural component together with the painted metal and solar reflections off the smooth surfaces.

Steve Heller: The whimsical creations of sculptor Steve Heller are legendary in Woodstock as the artist welds together unexpected metal components to create futuristic fauna, robotics, and spacecraft.
Pascal Knapp: The two sculptures in this exhibition display Knapp's dry wit with broken bluestones expertly welded back together (Boule #2) in an elegant steel support or an endlessly rotating welded aluminium letter A that morphs effortlessly into a letter Z with a message that says at once all or nothing.

Alex Kveton: The two sculptures in the exhibition, Metropolis I and Metropolis II straddle the worlds of both nature and architecture. The orange-painted, gridded planes of the sculptures allow for transparent vibrations while creating complementary-colored foil against the green of the surrounding nature.
Ian Laughlin: Ian Laughlin’s acoustic sculptures are designed for interaction and are constructed from repurposed metal and salvaged parts. Known for his deeply conceptual approach, Laughlin’s work spans across sculpture, painting, photography, and video to highlight ecological vulnerabilities, societal injustices, and sustainable alternatives.
Lowell Miller: Inspired by ancient art and archetypes, Lowell Miller seeks to infuse an object with primal experience from an invisible collective memory. In this recent work, Huddle, the seven forms are at once grieving, hiding, plotting, or just gazing at a point on the ground. The visual references are meant to self-contradict and shift as Miller keeps his forms on the cusp of different possibilities.

Eileen M.Power: Eileen M . Power uses the form of the humble ladder as both a visual journey and a metaphor for spiritual growth. Known for her playful, tactile, and deeply resonant style, the artist focuses on upcycling and animating discarded everyday items into complex assemblages, collages, monotypes, and sculptures.

Amanda Russo Rubman: Amanda Russo Rubman’s repurposed artworks are responsive to their materials presenting an endless improvisation with the ever-changing environment.
Aleksandra Scepanovic: The outdoor installations of Aleksandra Scepanovic frame the environment with kinetic forms that define and support it. Her profound life experiences heavily shape her current fine arts practice, which balances the boundaries of war and peace, chaos and order, and fracture and wholeness

Amelia C. Williams: Amelia C. Williams is a mixed-media installation artist, painter, and photographer whose work explores identity, beauty, memory, and self-definition through immersive environments, collage, and found materials.
