The opening party will be held August 25, 2012, noon until dark. There are also picnic receptions on the first four Saturdays in September beginning at 4pm and going until dark. There is no admission, and all are welcome, including dogs if they are on leashes.

Sculptures of many media and form, created by 78 artists, will dot the landscape of this 17-acre horse farm at 150 Wild Horse Run, Pittsboro, NC.

This show began in 2002 as part of a group of shows put on by Hunter Levinsohn, Jackie Helvey, Anke Gassen, Hollie Taylor, and Debbie Meyer to honor the victims of 9/11. Attendees, who loved seeing sculpture in an outdoor setting, and artists, who often don’t have a place to display larger sculptures, asked for it to continue. Over 1100 people attended last year’s show during its five-week run.
