So much fun, highly recommend checking out the Maker's Night experience

Great visit to the Gardens…read more Known of them for a while now but finally made the 25-minute journey on a late Sunday morning. The free gardens are open to the public on the weekends, from 10am - 4pm during the mid-spring through early-fall months. (April - November) I followed the general directions to the front gate where I was greeted by a staff member who took my name, phone number and directed me to the visitor's parking lot. Once parked in the designated visitor's lot, there is a visitor's information window as well as bathrooms there. From there, you can start your walk throughout the gardens at your own pace. There are lots of sculptures and scenic paths to explore. Particularly lovely during the fall months. I took about 1.5 hours to cover the entire gardens. All staff I encountered were friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

I am taking 4 stars away because Silvermine Art Center gets grants on the basis of "supporting arts…read moreand artists." And they do not in principle accomplish that, in my opinion. They do support their insiders' clique and their own appearance. For instance, there are talented artists in the area who are not rich and can't afford an open sketch at $40 a pop for long pose and $30 a week for short pose. If you do both open sketches a week, that's $70. $70 a week for the right to stand in a room and draw a model--no materials nor instruction. (Nor would I want that.) Proctor said it all goes to the model. I would like to see proof of that! To some of us $70 is grocery money. They haven't a clue. They live in McMansions, likely married to men who've made a fortune. This scene is by the wealthy for the wealthy. Additionally, I am disabled. I can't sketch from 10-3 on the long pose. I physically cannot sustain those hours. So I offered to pay half for half the time. (I would leave during the break.) The proctor refused to accommodate my disability. (I have medical records to prove it.) Cold cruel people run this place! A place where your physical disability will not be accommodated, though they get state and federal funds. Why don't state and national grants go to the models? To reduce the cost of the open sketch for artists? I used to work in a Manhattan art gallery on W57th Street, and even there I did not deal with oversized egos on the level of SAC admin. Looking around the room at the rich duffers who could easily pay 20x the fee, you wonder why admin can't raise all the money from them? I agree with the reviewer who said Silvermine isn't a place for serious adult artists. It is not. --It's a place that just as easily murders talent.
