$25

Private tours of our Andy Goldsworthy pieces are available for $200 for up to 10 people. To book, call Claire Angione at 603.418.7412 or email cangione@alnoba.org.

Tickets $25 per person. All proceeds donated to Sawyer Park.

Walks lasts roughly 3 hours on wooded trails over some uneven terrain.

Andy Goldsworthy is a sculptor, photographer and environmentalist who produces site-specific sculptures and land art in natural and urban settings. The materials used in Andy Goldsworthy’s art includes mud, pinecones, snow, stone, leaves, twigs and water.

On this tour, a docent will take you on an exploration of four Goldsworthy pieces – including one brand new piece, as well as another that is part of a private collection and rarely available for public viewing.

  • Watershed Boulder, a monumental installation that evolves with the rain, ice and snow
  • Boulder House, constructed in-situ around an enormous glacial boulder
  • Passage, a powerful and experiential piece featured in the Andy Goldsworthy documentary Leaning Into The Wind
  • NEW: Five Ten, an impactful native stone building built around a recently discovered rustic and timeless car that tells a story through unique features in its wheel, and bullet holes throughout the chassis.

All proceeds from this event are donated to support Kensington’s Sawyer Park, a 35-acre public community park that provides a safe and beautiful place for families from across the region to gather outside.
