A Sculpture Trail...
halfway between Storm King and Grounds for Sculpture
lies Laurelwood Arboretum
A Sculpture Trail, part of the continuing Art at the Arboretum series, is a multi-year project to benefit Laurelwood Arboretum. EXPLORE … installations are underway!
ABOUT
The goal for A Sculpture Trail is to promote art — unique and engaging sculptures created by prominent artists from around the country — that complements the landscape, foliage, and water features of the Laurelwood Arboretum.
MISSION
It is also a fundraising opportunity. ALL pieces have been curated by Scott A. Broadfoot and are available for sale through an exclusive agreement with “Broadfoot & Broadfoot, A Collection of Fine Art,” Boonton, NJ. A percentage of the proceeds will be donated back to the Friends of Laurelwood Arboretum (a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization) and will be applied to the installation of a capital improvement project.
We are well along our way towards delivering on our plan to install 15 remarkable works from a diverse group of prominent artists. New installations are being installed throughout the Spring so if you haven’t walked through the park recently, take advantage of the gorgeous weather and do so.
WHAT’S COMING
Educational programs for both school age children and adults are in development in addition to docent-guided and audio tours.
Installed May 2021
OPENINGS
Mark your calendar for the weekend of June 5th-6th for a guided walk-through of the works installed and a sneak preview of what’s to come. Scaled-down, one-of-a-kind sculptures by participating artists will be available for sale — with a piece to be raffled off.
We’ll also be officially kicking off our Ad Journal Sales and Sponsorship Opportunities ahead of our Grand Opening, September 18th ! Help us keep the momentum going by contributing to this exciting project.

ABOUT THE CURATOR
Scott A. Broadfoot, owner of Broadfoot & Broadfoot — A Collection of Fine Art, is a seasoned art expert with well-established relationships within the contemporary art and sculpture world. In addition to running his eponymous gallery, Broadfoot is the current curator (and designer) of two exciting projects: Natirar, a celebrated restaurant and resort located in Peapack/Gladstone, and the Bedminster Farm residential development project, dedicated to environmental sustainability and a healthy and rich lifestyle. Most recently as the Curator of The Sculpture Trail at Laurelwood Arboretum, Broadfoot has brought the same passion that he has demonstrated on his other projects to The Sculpture Trail with his creative selection of select works from prominent artists around the country and thoughtful placement to promote harmony between man and nature.
