In the latest Hudson Valley Word of Mouth segment, Julia Joern visits Opus 40. Located on 60 acres in Saugerties, the big attraction at Opus 40 is its monumental earthwork sculpture — spanning over 6 1/2 acres — carved from a bluestone quarry and created by the renowned artist and stone mason Harvey Fite (1903-1976).

Caroline Crumpacker, Executive Director, shares the history of this world-famous place and the remarkable work of its legendary founder. She also discusses a wide variety of upcoming community events, including concerts, workshops, film series, and more — many created in collaboration with other local arts organizations and businesses — and the inaugural Ulster County ACE Week, which kicks off at Opus 40 on July 10.
