One Less Traveled is a unique sculpture exhibition curated by Joshua Reiman, the Gary Ambrose Chair of Sculpture, Associate Professor. Presented by WANDER at LongWoods Preserve, the exhibition features sculptural artworks by 23 artists spread across 54 acres of open farmland, forest, and riparian habitat alongside the East Branch of the Piscataqua River in Cumberland Center, ME.
Artists included: Anne Alexander, Vivian Beer '00, Eleanor Brown '26, Nelson Bruns, Quinn Cotnoir '27, Matt Crane, Linda L.

This biennial exhibition highlights artists using a wide range of mediums whose work embodies whimsy, wonder, positive energy, fantasy, and exploration. These thematic works on view will raise awareness between the body, landscape, and the environment; with intertwined stories using stone and cast and welded metal sculpture, sound, installations, and landscape interventions. Each artwork will be sited and carefully curated, revealing a sense of play and meandering through a guided landscape.
LongWoods Preserve is open to the public 365 days a year for walking, hiking, biking, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing. Admission is free, and ample parking is available on site. The Trailhead can be accessed at the WANDER at LongWoods parking lot.
LongWoods Preserve is a family-friendly space. All are welcome.
