4. Chesterwood presents Outdoor Sculpture Exhibition: Global Warming/Global Warning!
June 7 — October 31
Chesterwood will address the issue of climate change with its 47th annual outdoor sculpture show in 2025. Global Warming/Global Warning explores how the natural and designed landscapes at Chesterwood are being impacted by global warming, climate change, invasive species, pollution, and the aging out of a mature forest. Invited artists engage directly with the environment, using the native and invasive materials of the forest, responding to climate impacts, and introducing human-made objects juxtaposed with the natural environment to challenge the viewer and raise issues around what we are doing to our planet. Chesterwood opens its outdoor sculpture exhibition on June 7 with an opening reception celebration. Curated by preservation engineer and restoration architect Michael Lynch, this year’s event features artists Kathleen Jacobs, Ann Jon, DeWitt Godfrey, Harold Grinspoon, whose “Olympus” will be displayed at Chesterwood for two years, and glass artist Natalie Tyler, who will premiere a new work entitled “Tornado.”
