★★★★★Andres AyalaA really nice art center with contemporary displays. You can also walk the area and see large sculptures displayed in various areas. The art center provides a place for professional artist to display their works of art. In addition visit their restaurant, they have a really good brunch menu.
★★★★★Mary AnnMy husband took me to CurATE in Vermont for "linner" on my birthday. The only thing better than the grounds at this establishment and the scenery was the food. Chef prepared us a fresh scallop and creamy corn appetizer that was "to die for" delicious 😋. I had the salmon for lunch, Rick had the ham, tomato and cheese quiche, which, in a word, was YUM. I had the decadent carrot cake for dessert, which they adorned with a birthday candle for me, and Rick had his beloved ice cream, vanilla and strawberry. We also thought the bill at the end was reasonable for this expertly prepared and served food in a beautiful, clean setting. Many thanks to Leila, who was delightful, took perfect care of us, and had us leaving happy. Treat yourself soon to this perfect gem in Southern Vermont. You know you deserve it!
★★★Raychael Chavez CoombesThis place was nice. Loads to see. The story of the dress was so moving. I was not please that there is no elevator in the art gallery. My father in law was only able to see one floor. I took loads of photos for him but it's not right that he was not able to see it for himself. There was no additional discount for only seeing 1 floor of the gallery. The lady at the front seemed to not be bothered and was not apologetic in the least. There is a restaurant in the gallery, however we did not eat there.
★★★★Rachel NewquistAn interesting choice in winter, but the galleries were nice. It is more difficult to enjoy the outdoor sculptures. Some can be seen, while others would require trek through the snow. But the surrounding views are amazing!
★★★★Batman The Dark KnightFound this place after visiting Mt. Equinox. Pics online looked cool so decided to check it out. There's a long driveway up to the parking lot, with around 20-30 sculpture's scattered throughout fields and trees along the driveway. It's about a mile long or so. At the top near the parking lot there are a couple different grassy areas with sculpture's along with a big field. The art museum building is on the smaller side, with a few exhibits throughout. They close around 4:30, we got there almost at closing, so we were able to quickly look around for free. All in all, it was a good stop to pass some time.
