The Fields Sculpture Park at Art Omi is pleased to announce the opening of its Annual Summer Exhibition with a reception on June 19, 2009, from 1 to 5PM. The Park is free to all, and is open every day from dawn to dusk.
The Charles B. Benenson Visitors Center, which opened for the first time last year, has regular business hours: Wednesday through Sunday, 11 to 5PM, and includes a beautiful new 1500 square foot exhibition space, in an LEED Silver Certified building environment.
 
Located in Ghent, New York (approximately two hours north of New York City), The Fields encompasses 150 acres of rolling fields, ponds, and wooded areas, housing nearly eighty Contemporary and Modern sculptures, by well-known figures such as Carl Andre, Tony Cragg, Michael Somoroff, and Mea Westerlund Roosen.
 
New additions to The Fields this year (selected by the recently appointed director, Bill Maynes, and the curatorial team of Kathleen Triem and Peter Franck) will include sculptures by Robert Melee, Heather and Ivan Morison, Julian Opie, and Margeaux Walter; while large-scale, sight-specific sculptures will be installed by Orly Genger and Richard Nonas. Other works will be added later in the season.
