Sculpture at The Mount

The Berkshires-based SculptureNow outdoor art exhibition, which has been hosted at The Mount in Lenox, Mass., for the past nine years, has been adopted as an official Mount program.

The newly renamed Sculpture at The Mount will continue to present the work of rising and longtime artists while maintaining the variety of styles and mediums that visitors to the popular showcase have come to expect. The exhibit entertained over 55,000 guests in 2023.

The change comes on the heels of the announcement of the retirement of Ann Jon, who founded SculptureNow in 1998 and served as its executive director. “By formally integrating SculptureNow into our programming, there is great synergy between Wharton’s literary legacy and the compelling narratives expressed through contemporary sculpture,” said Susan Wissler, executive director of The Mount, in a statement.

Set to encompass approximately 25 works, Sculpture at The Mount will open Friday, May 24, and run through Sunday, Oct. 20. Artist submissions for this year’s exhibit are being accepted through Friday, Feb. 9. For exhibition and submission information, see edithwharton.org/calendar/sculpture
