A Center for Art, History, and Sustainability.​
Our mission is to promote history, art and sustainability at our historic quarry through experiential learning and engagement with the land.
​
​The Granite Art Garden is a non-profit organization that provides outdoor recreation, community events, stone sculpting classes, demonstrations, internships, creative collaboration, and more.
History:
We are working to preserve the historic art of quarrying through demonstrations and museum exhibits focusing on the unique geology of Sullivan, Maine, which gave rise to the booming industry of granite quarrying in the 19th century. Come learn about stone working techniques, the quarrymen’s lifestyles, and how their work is still contributing to our community and beyond.
Art:
We offer artist-in-residence programs, which provide a way for folks to interact with and support this truly unique place.
Sustainability:
Organic gardening for hands-on opportunities for volunteers and apprenticeship positions, with an emphasis on sustainable living skills. We preserve our families’ legacy in the Back-to-the-Land movement and living the good life.
