The staff at Pyramid Hill hopes to keep visitors entertained as it gets warmer outside. 

As trees and flowers begin to bloom, so do the outdoor activities. Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park and Museum in Hamilton has begun rolling out their spring programming to provide residents and visitors with art classes, stargazing, Earth Day celebrations and more.  

Sitting on 470-acres, Pyramid Hill is a nonprofit sculpture park with a permanent display of more than 70 large-scale pieces. In addition to the sculptures, the park houses ancient Greek, Italian Syrian and Egyptian artifacts dating back to 1550 B.C., while also showcasing rotating contemporary exhibits.  

As more people naturally visit the park when warmer, the staff at Pyramid Hill hopes to keep visitors entertained. “Spring is a rejuvenating time to visit the Park,” says Sarah Templeton Wilson, executive director of Pyramid Hill. “With family-friendly events happening throughout the season, visitors can look forward to fun and unique experiences.” 

These experiences kick off with a stargazing session with Dean Regas. As an astronomer, Regas will walk stargazers through how to identify constellations and planets. Allowing a clearer view into the cosmos, telescopes will be set up to see the Moon, Mars and Jupiter (April 4).  Mother Nature stays front and center with events like “Nature/Nurture: Forest Bathing” where participants can reduce stress with a guided walk, nature readings and moments of quiet (May 4).  

In addition to appreciating the great outdoors, Pyramid Hill will offer opportunities to explore fine art. These activities range from the ancient to the contemporary. “Ancient Printmaking Techniques with Kim Radochia” will teach artists traditional techniques to create prints (April 23- 24). Keeping it a bit more modern is “Ink and Drink” where participants can create original works with naturally made inks (May 2). 

With the announcement of the spring events, Pyramid Hill is also celebrating the addition of a new team member, Stephen Smith, associate director of education and programming. “We are thrilled that Stephen has joined the Leadership Team at the Park,” Templeton Wilson says. “Under his leadership we are looking forward to welcoming our community for art and nature inspired activities at the Park this spring.”
