Original Art Tours

Tickets $15 per person. All proceeds donated to support Kensington's Sawyer Park.

Walk roughly 90 minutes long along wooded trails with some mildly uneven terrain.

Alnoba's renowned art collection was created to inspire, delight, challenge, and provoke. We are excited to show you our new art pieces in 2023!

Here, art isn't something precious admired from a distance. It's bold and wild, springing from Alnoba's unique natural landscape and daring you to engage.

The collection includes masterworks by some of the most respected artists of our age, including Andy Goldsworthy, Orly Genger, Jaume Plensa, John Lopez, Allan Houser and Ursula von Rydingsvard. We are excited to share with you our brand new art including a whimsical journey through winding willow branches formed by Patrick Doherty.

On your tour, our enthusiastic volunteer guides will introduce you to the stories behind the artists and their work. Many of our pieces represent vital themes of social justice and sustainability, challenging us all to go one step further than we thought we could toward a better world.

Guided Tour Details

• Walk starts at 10AM promptly and lasts for roughly 90 minutes. Please make sure you are in the parking lot before then. Guide will meet you there.

• Guests must stay with the guide at all times.

• Please dress appropriately for exploring the outdoors. In winter, snow boots, insulated clothes, snow pants, walking sticks and ice spikes are recommended. In summer, please wear casual clothes, hiking boots, and bring bug spray and sunscreen.

• Be prepared to walk at an easy pace, with some breaks, for the full ninety minutes.

• Alnoba's buildings are closed. Walkers may use the portable restroom in our parking lot.

• No dogs are permitted on the property.

*Due to its location, the guided tour will not include Andy Goldsworthy, “Boulder House”.

The tour takes place outdoors, sometimes on uneven terrain, with a roughly 2 mile walk. The area around Andy Goldsworthy's "Watershed Boulder" requires a climb up a fairly steep hill that may be difficult for those with mobility issues.
