Explore Blackfoot Pathways: Sculpture in The Wild in Lincoln, Montana
Do you enjoy art and being outdoors? Then you'll love Blackfoot Pathways Sculpture In The Wild in Lincoln, Montana a 26 acre peaceful forested museum under the open skies.
If you had 20 acres in rural Montana and wanted to somehow unite international artists under one mission, how would you do it?
Welcome to Blackfoot Pathways: Sculpture in The Wild in Lincoln, Montana, where rich cultural, environmental and industrial heritage of the Blackfoot Valley is celebrated through contemporary artworks by various artists in residency in about 3 weeks time.
Located about one hour away from The Hohnstead Glamping Cabins and 1.5 hours from Missoula, Montana, Sculptures in The Wild is a wonderful, pet-friendly (on the leash) and free park, where you can take a walk, have a picnic, and enjoy the works of over a dozen international artists who created various sculptures made of natural and industrial materials.
26 acres of forested land have been allotted for this artistic endeavor and every time I’ve visited, it has been so peaceful and serene, with very little human traffic, making me feel like the place was built just for me.
You’re able to explore the space on your own time, walking in any direction on easy to traverese trails.
There are maps in the beginning to guide you in the direction of specific sculptures, but I prefer to let mystery and curiosity guide me every time I go.
Some of the artists include Jaakko Pernu (Finland), Jorn Ronnau (Denmark), Steven Siegel (USA), Chris Drury (UK) and Patrick Dougherty (USA). Since Sculptures in The Wild is a residency program with an annual changeover, you’re likely to see some new pieces of art regularly.
For me, one of my favorites is called Hill and Valley by Steven Siegel from USA. His art work has been there since 2014 and it’s still an impressive site - 30,000 pounds of newspaper, 400 pounds of nails, and 28 pine lodge poles.
It just makes me ask one question: How?
There are no specific open hours, just dawn to dusk, my favorite time was during Golden Hour.
So go ahead, grab your pet and some picnic lunch, and check off this Top 15 Places To Road trip as named by Sixt Magazine in 2023.
