Verdure’s Art Safari Art Installation Trail, opening Summer 2026, is an evolving journey into art and nature unlike any other in Central New York.

Nestled within our 243-acre nonprofit retreat, this outdoor gallery will begin as an intimate, curated collection of installations, designed to grow over time and reflect our mission to support artists and inspire visitors through creativity. As our trail expands each year, we hope to establish Art Safari as a regional and national destination for years to come.

The Art Safari will feature an array of artwork, from thought-provoking sculptures and immersive landscape designs to visual art installations, each created to harmonize with the natural beauty of our forested landscape. Whether you travel by foot, bike, or horseback, the experience will offer a unique perspective on both art and nature as they intertwine along the winding paths, meadows, and tranquil ponds of Verdure.

With artwork contributed by local artists, international visionaries, and especially our Artist Residency participants, the trail will showcase the diversity and innovation of creative voices from around the world. Starting with a select few installations, Art Safari will continue to grow, with new pieces and fresh perspectives added annually to create an ever-evolving, dynamic experience for visitors.

Join us as we take the first steps in building Art Safari into a beloved Central New York art destination that invites you to explore, connect, and be inspired by the transformative power of art and nature together.
