Martin Hogue- Camping at the Art Park

Join us for a talk by visiting artist Martin Hogue on Friday, August 11 @ 7pm in the Art Barn. This happening is free! Light refreshments.


Now in its fifth edition, Camping at the Art Park was first proposed by Martin Hogue in June 2017 as a temporary installation to broaden the range of experiences available to visitors at the Stone Quarry Art Park in Cazenovia, NY. With the park already open 365 days a year from dawn to dusk, the introduction of camping as a new layer of activity provides a unique opportunity for campers to spend 24 uninterrupted hours within this beautiful, immersive Central New York landscape; as they tend to their campsites and interact with other campers, the campers themselves also become part of the art inside the park, which is to say that they and their encampments are on display for visitors to see.


There are four designated campsites to choose from. Click here to be directed to the Eventbrite page to register.

Site 1 / Secret Garden: Located in the area of the park named Secret Garden

Site 2 / Ash Tree: Located in an open field under a large ash tree visible from the park’s entrance

Site 3 / Sugar Bush: Located at the edge of a maple forest, near artist Rodger Mack’s welded steel sculptures

Site 4 / Paperbark Maple Tree: Located on the former site of David Harper’s sculpture Stacks
