Take advantage of the season’s colorful backdrop as you experience Sonoma County’s vibrant art scene outdoors. Outdoor Art Victory Sculpture | Geyserville Sculpture Trail If you prefer to appreciate art on your own (or with a few friends), permanent sculpture gardens are plentiful throughout Sonoma County and allow you to go at your own pace. SCULPTURE GARDENS While visiting the Museum of Sonoma County, step outside of the museum itself to explore the outdoor sculpture garden designed by landscape architect Frederic Warnecke. In Sebastopol, stroll Florence Avenue for colorful, whimsical sculptures made from recycled materials. Guerneville and Cloverdale are also home to multiple Sculpture Trails which visitors can enjoy by foot, bike or car. VINEYARD ART Many wineries across Sonoma County display sculptures and other outdoor artwork for visitors to enjoy. At Paradise Ridge outside Santa Rosa, the owners encourage visitors to meander through Marijke’s Grove, a four-acre open space with handcrafted sculptures installed among wooden glens and gnarled oaks. “Galleries” are connected by simple footpaths and feature exhibits that are rotated every other year. STREET ART In the heart of downtown Santa Rosa, contemporary art lovers can explore the South A Street Art District (SOFA). This area is home to 40 working artists’ studies, galleries and other arts-related businesses. Visitors will also find outdoor sculptures and eclectic murals. Learn more about Sonoma County art here.
