Description

The Mount, Edith Wharton's Home became the official home of the annual sculpture exhibition formerly known as SculptureNow. Now in its second year, Sculpture at The Mount will feature works of contemporary outdoor sculpture in a range of media against the backdrop of the vibrant woods, gardens, and grounds of The Mount, the historic home of American novelist Edith Wharton. In 2024, the exhibition welcomed 55,000 visitors.

The 2025 exhibition, consisting of 20-25 large-scale, juried works, will open on Saturday, May 24, and will run through Sunday, October 19. A $1,000 honorarium will be awarded to each accepted artist. Sculptures may be offered for sale with 70% of the sale price going to the artist, and a 30% commission going to The Mount. A virtual exhibition on The Mount’s website will accompany the show, and there will be public programming—including tours, readings, and workshops—responding to the artwork.
