Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park Photo Event
Details
RESCHEDULED TO 10/17 DUE TO HEAVY DRIZZLE AT 12:30 PM ON 10/10. TREE COLORS MAY BE BETTER ALSO? OUR TOUR GUIDE HAS AGREED TO THE NEW DATE.
ALL ATTENDEES ARE REQUIRED TO WEAR A MASK WHENEVER OUR GROUP IS TOGETHER. IF YOU WANDER OFF ON YOUR OWN THEN A MASK IS NOT REQUIRED.
UPDATES:
- We now have a docent (photographer Jerry Lynch) to show us around!
- However, he informed us that the park will be closing at 5 pm starting Oct. 4th so I have moved the start time up 2 hours to 2 pm, which will provide 3 hours to see & photograph the 335 acres. You could arrive after 2 pm if your schedule doesn’t fit.
- If you agree to give your photos to the Park they will waive your $8 entry fee. You will maintain your copyright and the park will provide a Photo Credit to you for any photos they may use. If you use your photo for commercial sales you will still be required to buy a Commercial Photographer Pass for $75.
- The Ancient Sculpture museum is still closed to the public but as docent Jerry can get us in with masks and no-contact of doors, etc.
Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park & Museum is a 335 acre sculpture park and outdoor museum combining the lure of nature with the dynamic presence of monumental art. Pyramid Hill’s rolling hills, meadows, lakes, gardens and miles of hiking trails provides the perfect backdrop to Experience Art In Nature in every season. In addition to the 80+ monumental outdoor sculptures, the grounds also feature a pioneer house dating to the 1820’s with an unusual arched ceiling.
Ancient Sculpture Museum – allows you to travel back in time and visit the Roman, Greek, Etruscan and Egyptian Empires. The Ancient Sculpture Museum houses over 60 pieces of sculpture where each piece is over a thousand years old.
We will meet up and then disperse maintaining safe distancing, which is easy given the size of the park. You can learn much more about the park at this link https://www.pyramidhill.org/
