Must Sees

Expressive Art

Studies have long shown the healing benefits of art, and when that art showcases natural settings, those healing qualities often prove even more impactful!

Explore Bernheim’s Art Collection

Step off the trail and into a world where creativity takes root! Bernheim’s Arts in Nature program celebrates the curious connection between people, art, and the living landscape. From towering sculptures to hidden installations, every piece invites you to see the forest from a new perspective, to pause, wonder, and let imagination wander.

For decades, artists have found inspiration beneath our canopy, and now it’s your turn to experience their work in the wild.
