The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is perhaps the most famous of the Chronicles of Narnia, and the setting is nothing short of enchanting. In this fantasy world of magic, mythical beasts, and talking animals, the setting paints a picture of this fantastic place. At the Southern Vermont Arts Center, art seems to come alive and nature creates a backdrop for a fantastic story. Let's take a look at the SCAC and what makes it so incredibly magical that it could be on the other side of a magical wardrobe.
Step out of the wardrobe and emerge from the forest onto the stunning grounds of the Southern Vermont Arts Center.
This is the largest sculpture park in all of Vermont.
The SVAC resides on over 100 acres of wooded forest, seemingly straight out of Narnia.
Visitors can explore the 28 room Yester House Gallery, which showcases exhibitions featuring artwork, photography, and sculpture.
You'll also find the Elizabeth de C. Wilson Museum which has one of the East Coast’s finest exhibition spaces outside a major city.
The exhibits are captivating and will take your mind a million miles away.
Although in a forest, the SVAC has spectacular mountain views of the Green and Taconic Mountains.
Sculptures are scattered throughout the property.
The Sculpture Park and Gardens provide a mix of culture and reflection for art-lovers as well as outdoor enthusiasts.
The man made sculptures and art installments will surprise you.
The natural beauty can rival the exhibits and can be found on the trails within the forest grounds.
The Bottony Trail is one of our favorites and shouldn't be missed.
There are many courses for both adults and children available. What an inspirational place to learn!
