The Cathedral Project is a monumental site-specific sculpture project to be built near the banks of the Connecticut River in Turners Falls, Massachusetts.
This sculpture, this Cathedral Project, will tell an archetypal story of the human condition as it has manifest through time, in its own unique way, in the village of Turners Falls. From its difficult and tragic beginnings, to its agricultural and industrial underpinnings, its present state, and uncertain future.
The project is expected to span several years in construction, with the |
initiation of an apprentice program and public events.
It is hoped that the larger grounds of the site will become a center of artistic activity within the community with the inclusion of rental studios, possibly a gallery/cafe, or a small, grass roots museum.
When complete, the Cathedral will be open as a public monument in a park-like garden setting.
