NBOSS at the Museum

July – November 2024

The North Bennington Outdoor Sculpture Show (NBOSS) is the longest-running outdoor sculpture exhibition in Southern Vermont.
NBOSS offers local residents and visitors a unique opportunity to engage with the arts. Making North Bennington an even more attractive village for tourists and people passing by to take a moment and explore, its arts, businesses, and other community initiatives.

Since it’s launch in 1998, NBOSS sculptures are available for viewing and purchase from sunrise to sunset seven days a week in 5 different  locations. Many are inspired by natural forms or benefit from being exhibited in outdoor settings: in North Bennington, on lawns and front yards, in bowers throughout the village: the train depot, the Vermont Arts Exchange, Whitmans feed store and Bennington College Welling Townhouse and other properties. NBOSS also partnered with  Hiland Hall Gardens and the Bennington Museum both hosting sculptures in collaboration with NBOSS.

The sculptures vary in size, shape, and materials; some invite reflection, while others offer whimsical commentary on the world.

The Museum will host an artist celebration from 1-3pm on Saturday, September 21st in the Pavilion on the Museum campus – music, hotdogs, and more!

NBOSS is produced in partnership with the Vermont Arts Exchange and Bennington Museum.
