This year's outdoor sculpture show at Maudslay State Park (in Newburyport, MA) had a slightly delayed start, but oh! I was so happy to see that it was happening this year.

The show is ON, with new Dates: Opening September 20, Coming down October 11.Great news - the state has made an exception and given us a permit to put on the show! (We've been working and planning to put on the show all summer, and this was a final hurdle.) So we are ON...but with some changes: 1. Artists will put up their sculptures on Saturday September 19.maudslay.ning.com

Instead of a paper map, this site is loaded with locations and artists for viewing on a phone:

Maudslay Sculpture GuideWelcome! If you are at the show, use the map to see where you are, and tap on nearby pins to see each artist's statement. Or at home you can see images and info on each artist and sculpture. And our sponsors!mapapp.sculptureatmaudslay.org

I didn't find the map very helpful but the list of artists & photos of their sculptures was good to have. If you're curious, take a look on your phone. If you're in the greater Boston area I encourage you to visit the park while the sculpture show is on.

I visited with my camera on Monday, and I will return tomorrow to share the experience with a friend.

I stood and stared at this one for a while, looking at the amazing details. This is titled 'Artemis Revisited', and it was created by Lisa Victoria.

One of my favorites was 'Inner Light, Outer Radiance', by Able Heart Studio.

It was anchored by a man of plastic, holding a streamer that leads to hanging, moving, painted CDs and CD cases.
