Outside the hustle bustle of town on the road leading up to the mountains of New Paltz I always took a second glance passing by an artsy looking place. One particular day I decided to follow stop there and see what it was all about. That place was Unison Sculpture Park [68 Mountain Rest Rd, New Paltz, NY 12561], and I’m so glad I paid it a visit. There was a clearly defined path through the woods looping you around. The pieces were all so unique and interesting. I loved how certain artists used the natural surrounds to enhance their work.
One shows this osprey suspended in flight eternally waiting to catch its prey in the lake.
Another named this piece: Death takes a Holiday in the Gunks, the Gunks being a nickname for the nearby Shawangunk Mountain range…Spooky.
I really enjoyed each individual sculpture, and strolling through these peaceful woods.
I would highly recommend visiting the sculptures here and looking into performances and workshops offered at the art center.
