Leo Sewell, Duck, 2003. In a city so spirited, urban, and diverse, Fuller Craft’s serene 22-acre campus provides a rare combination for people looking to experience art, culture, and the natural environment all in one idyllic setting. The Museum is surrounded by over 700 acres of scenic woodland and the brilliant architectural landscape of Frederick Law Olmstead’s D.W. Field Park in Brockton, MA. We like to call it the lost gem of Boston’s Emerald Necklace. The Museum’s award-winning 21,000 square foot building, sculpture garden, courtyards, and nature trails (like Caroline’s Pathway) provide a serene getaway. With high ceilings, wide corridors, slate floors, natural wood beams, and myriad floor-to-ceiling-windows—there is an abundance of natural light and atmosphere that blurs the line between indoor and outdoor beauty.

Atkinson Memorial As you drive up Oak Street to Fuller Craft Museum and as you enter the grounds, you encounter works of art unexpectedly around every corner, behind every tree it seems. Several of Fuller Craft’s outdoor artists use the materials from nature, such as wood and stone. Before you come, print out this List of Outdoor Sculptures and give yourself a preview of our outdoor collection. Then come roam the grounds and discover them in person. Explore The lure of hidden treasure is difficult to resist. At Fuller Craft, the letterboxes were hidden with the intention of introducing treasure hunters to the natural beauty of the grounds, as well as to bring attention to outdoor sculptures that can be easily overlooked. The Museum provides a beautiful setting for families and adults to seek out the hidden boxes by following simple clues. Along the way, treasure hunters can learn more about the flora and fauna they encounter from the clues they decipher.

The project will begin this summer and last roughly eighteen weeks. As we navigate the challenges that all construction projects may present, there will be temporary changes to the space and the services we provide at Fuller Craft. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause. However, we believe the outcomes will ultimately benefit you, our patrons and the unique experience we provide as New England’s home for contemporary craft. —Chris Rifkin, Chair, Board of Directors Latest Announcements as of 6/1/12: Due to preparation for construction, the artKitchen café will not be serving food.
