Free & Open to the Public! The North Bennington Outdoor Sculpture Show (NBOSS) is the longest-running outdoor sculpture exhibition in Southern Vermont. NBOSS offers local residents and visitors a unique opportunity to engage with the arts. Making North Bennington an even more attrac

tive village for tourists and people passing by to take a moment and explore, its arts, businesses, and other community initiatives. Since it’s launch in 1997, NBOSS sculptures are available for viewing and purchase from sunrise to sunset seven days a week in 5 different locations. Many are inspired by natural forms or benefit from being exhibited in outdoor settings: in North Bennington, on lawns and front yards, in bowers throughout the village: the train depot, the Vermont Arts Exchange, Whitmans feed store and Bennington College Welling Townhouse and other properties. NBOSS also partnered with Hiland Hall Gardens and the Bennington Museum both hosting sculptures in collaboration with NBOSS. The sculptures vary in size, shape, and materials; some invite reflection, while others offer whimsical commentary on the world.
