Minnesota’s family-friendly outdoor venue offers large-scale installations, art festivals and residency programs Open year round, Minnesota’s Franconia Sculpture Farm features a perpetually rotating cast of contemporary works from emerging American artists. The 20-acre wide outdoor park also offers an artist in residency program, where both interns or more established artists can utilize the space to create installations and sculptures. Construction on new projects takes place every year between April and November, and visitors are encouraged to probe and converse with the working artists. During the summer the park also hosts the 3-D Music Festival, inviting musicians to perform family-friendly shows and increasing the community’s exposure to different forms of art. Empowerment through exposure to the arts is one of the founding traditions of the park, and is kept alive today through programs for children and at-risk teens. Franconia has collaborated with the Minneapolis programs Kulture Klub and Projects Offstreets in the past, as well as Native American organizations such as Ain Dah Yung and Dream of Wild Health in order to promote teenage participation in the arts. Just 45 minutes northeast of the Twin Cities, the Franconia Sculpture Park is a must-see for art lovers, children and travelers alike. Some of their more popular events (such as the Kids Make Sculpture workshops or the Hot Metal Pour) recommend reservations, but the park is open to the public and always free of charge. photos by Josh Rubin
