26^th Annual North Bennington Outdoor Sculpture Show

NBOSS 2023

June 17 - November 12

Over the last 26 years NBOSS (pronounced “N”-Boss) has become one of the region’s premiere arts events of the summer/fall season, featuring work by some of the best artists from the Bennington area, the state of Vermont, and throughout the northeast region.

In addition to sculptures by over 40 artists scattered throughout the village of North Bennington, an additional 20+ artists will display their work on Bennington Museum’s beautiful 10-acre property in Old Bennington for the fourth consecutive year.

The exhibition is free to the public and will be on view throughout the summer and fall, concluding on November 12, 2023.

"Between the village of North Bennington and the Museum's grounds there will be nearly 75 outdoor sculptures by some of the best artists working in Vermont and the larger northeast region. That's a density of high quality public artwork, accessible free to the public all summer and through the fall from dawn to dusk, that is hard to beat! I am excited to see Museum guests explore the 10-acre property - from our Courtyard, with live music and food every Friday night to the George Aiken Wildflower Trails, with its native plantings and historic signage,- simultaneously discovering the beauty and power of our region's landscape and artistic community." 

- Jamie Franklin, Curator at Bennington Museum

NBOSS is sponsored in part by the Fund for North Bennington, The Village of North Bennington, Paran Recreations, Vermont Arts Exchange, and Bennington Museum.

A public opening celebration will take place on Saturday, June 17th from 4pm to 8pm in the Village of North Bennington, centered at the Vermont Arts Exchange (next to the North Bennington Post Office). Come enjoy Eastern dishes by Corner of India, and music by Beard & Glasses.

Bennington Museum will host an artist reception later in the summer on Friday, September 8 from 5-7pm featuring music by SIRSY and stilt-walker Troy Wunderle, plus hot dogs and PBR.

All artwork will be for sale and maps and more information about the artists will be available on the Museum website and the NBOSS website by the opening date, June 17.

We look forward to seeing you!
