The
Hebden Bridge Sculpture Trail is held in West Yorkshire, England.
It has run since 1994. The trail normally is on display for 5 weeks
starting June 26 to the August 1 on four hundred acres of Hard Castle
Crags, beautiful land owned by the Natural Trust. The bridge was a
crossing point for packhorses overloaded with cloth and other cargo.
Artists, local
schools, and community groups all exhibit their work in this natural
environment and have few limitations in its display. The artists
are very careful not to do any damage to the trees or the environment.
They also have to fill all the holes at the closing of the trail
for the year. The Trail must be put back to the state in which it
was found.
"The
aim of the trail is to provide a forum in which artist can test
notions of what contemporary landscape might mean for them and the
production of their work." This is great way for local artist
to display their work to the public.
