Tour: Highlights from the Exhibitions

The Hall Art Foundation in Reading, Vermont welcomes visitors to view its program of rotating, temporary exhibitions of contemporary art. Exhibitions are held seasonally, from May through November.

Converted from a former dairy farm, the campus of converted galleries consists of a 19th-century stone farmhouse, three barns, as well as a reception center and cafe. The property’s 5 historic buildings make up approximately 6,000 sq. feet of museum-quality exhibition space. The farmhouse and barns sit next to a waterfall on a tributary of the Black River, and are surrounded by approximately 400 acres of pastures, hayfields and extensive woodland. Outdoor sculptures by world-renowned artists are installed throughout the grounds.

Please check-in at our reception center for your tour.
