Trip Guiding / Event Fee: No, I will not be asking participants for money
Difficulty Level: Easy to Moderate
Andre’s Institute of Art is a remarkable place to visit. There are now over 100 thought-provoking, original works of art nestled along the hiking trails of the 140 acre sculpture park at Big
...Andre's is easily recognized by GPS systems by typing in the name. Here is the address if there is any confusion: 98 Rte 13, Brookline, NH 03033. (Note: Heading north on Rte 13, their sign and driveway is on the left and easy to spot. Heading south, it's on the right and is much easier to miss.) We'll probably meet around the kiosk.
Trip Report/Photos
Hike was amazing. Sculptures made this hike unique and worth the drive. Enjoyed mtg current GO members and guests. John did a great job. Sorry I could not stay for the pizza but maybe next time.

Thanks for the trip report and glad you enjoyed the day.
What a beautiful day to enjoy Andres Institute of Art. We started from the Picnic Trail and took a detour to a snowmobile trail to access the northern-most part of Andres. Great cluster of sculptures in this area. From there we took the Sculpture trail and worked upwards to the artist studio before winding our way to the summit.
After a leisurely beverage and snack, we worked our way down the Cell Tower Trail to the access road where we decided to continue. The picture of the 8' metal sculptures (entitled Negotiation) was on this route. It was a favorite!
We had an awesome group - 13 in all - and enjoyed being in nature and viewing original pieces of art along the trails. A few more hours were spent by several of us at my home with pizza and beverages. A great way to end a great day!
If you haven't been to Andres, check it out. It you have, check it out again. Over 100 sculptures are now on the mountain. Thinking about doing it after a nice snowfall. Let me know if interested.
