Join the exclusive Andy Goldsworthy Art Tours in Kensington at the renowned Alnoba venue. This special docent-led experience offers visitors the chance to immerse themselves in the captivating artistry of Andy Goldsworthy, a renowned sculptor, photographer, and environmentalist. Explore four remarkable outdoor sculptures crafted by Goldsworthy, all while supporting the preservation and enhancement of Sawyer Park. The guided walks will take approximately 3 hours, leading you through wooded trails that may be uneven at times. Goldsworthy's art is inspired by nature and he utilizes a wide array of materials such as mud, pinecones, snow, stone, leaves, twigs, and water.

During the tour, you will have the opportunity to delve into three of Goldsworthy's captivating pieces, including two exclusive to this tour. Witness the majestic evolution of Watershed Boulder, an installation that transforms with the elements of rain, ice, and snow. Marvel at Boulder House, a remarkable structure built around a massive glacial boulder. Additionally, the recently added Five Ten will leave a lasting impact. This native stone building is constructed around a rustic and timeless car, adorned with unique features and bullet holes.

The guided tour requires a moderate level of physicality, involving a roughly 2-mile walk along hilly and narrow trails with uneven grounds. It is recommended for ages 10 and up.
