November is mostly behind-the-scenes month. We have a lot to be thankful for, this month, and will post about all sorts of amazing people, places, and phenomena on instagram, facebook, and/or bluesky. We are open by appointment while we take the time to move art around, build the annual appeal, work on our newsletters, and update and invent new traveling exhibits. We have a few events, of course!
=== NOVEMBER EVENTS ===
A GIFT OF ART : an almost accidental art show
through April • by appointment and during special events
This often-changing “accidental” exhibit displays varied works from previous shows, selections from our gift shop, and elements of our long-term collections. See how art weaves together myriad media, styles, and visions. What’s present in March may be quite different from what we place in November, so consider a repeat visit!

Or check out The Gift of Art: an “accidental” art show made up of art given to us or waiting for its artist to come get it.
Have you seen our newest carvings? Can you find them?
And stroll on the trails or chat with other visitors. A small museum is perfect for a quiet moment after a holiday.
