Philanthropy
Institute of Art
Kurt Conlon is (founding member) of the Institute of Art. (Founded April 1998) – The Andres Institute of Art is (not for profit – 501c) located in southern New Hampshire on a 140 acres of pristine mountain top.
This park grew to be a haven for the community, hikers and art lovers. Now has 70 original sculptures build by guest Artists from all over the world. It’s free to the public year-round and adds value to the landscape with maintained hiking trails.
Each year we bring an artist to the area for our International Art Symposium and make the trip and amenities completely free of charge. This allows the artist to craft original work that gets placed along the trails in this sustainable park.
” Fortunate to have worked with true visionaries and mentors. That vision has grown for over two decades. This non profit art institute not only sustained, it’s now considered one of the finest mountain top studio’s and non profit hiking sculpture parks in the country. “
