In 2021, the Pandemic closed down or restricted many museums and art centers as indoor spaces became strictly regulated. It was during this period that outdoor sculpture exhibitions became a crucial resource for communities to experience art. With the natural beauty of the Hudson Valley as a back drop, sculpture parks activate and engage with the everchanging landscape, creating new ways for audiences to interact with artworks outside the confines of buildings. Non-profit organizations rethought their landscape and curated sculpture on their grounds or partnered with area businesses to install on their properties. Although the Pandemic is long passed, these Sculpture Parks have become a tradition in many places such as Kaatsbaan Cultural Park and partnerships with businesses such as the Woodstock Spa has become an ongoing strategy for community-building in the arts.
