Highfield Hall & Gardens to add NEW exhibit for the Holidays at Highfield

Highfield Hall & Gardens is pleased to announce a **New**
Exhibition during the Holidays at Highfield 2020
Highfield Hall & Gardens is seeking individuals to submit entries for the upcoming WINTER WONDERLAND VILLAGE.
Highfield Hall & Gardens in Falmouth has been a destination for those seeking fairies and whimsical miniature fairy houses for several years. The current climate of social distancing and pandemic concerns effected every person visiting Cape Cod this year. By offering an outdoor exhibition Highfield served thousands of visitors looking to engage in healthy and creative activities. We wish to continue to offer the public an outdoor, holiday themed experience, where families and individuals can be in nature, safely distanced in fresh air, exploring art and partaking in festive activities this holiday season.
Thus, the Winter Wonderland Village is in the works for the 2020 Holidays, keeping safety protocols top of mind. Patrick Dougherty’s Stickwork, A Passing Fancy, located on the front lawn, will serve as the Winter Wonderland Village backdrop. In the fairy house tradition, the miniature village will be created using natural elements, and feature representations of woodland creatures, gnomes, tiny worlds, in a holiday theme if one wishes.
We are looking for creative individuals to present their unique representation of a Winter Wonderland. Highfield’s new exhibit will be of particular interest to those with a background

in art, floral, horticultural, landscape, and/or architectural design talent to submit their interpretation of a miniature winter wonderland. We encourage all creative folks to submit their idea(s) to be included in the 1st annual winter wonderland village at Highfield Hall & Gardens Holidays at Highfield 2020.
Winter Wonderland Village opens to the public on November 27th and remains open until December 13th 2020.

About Highfield Hall & Gardens
The house is a rare surviving example of transitional Stick Style architecture, containing beautiful gardens located in the heart of Falmouth, Massachusetts. It is a unique combination of a historic house, expansive gardens and trails, and a vibrant cultural center. Built in 1878 as the summer home for Boston's Beebe family, the house sits on 5.5 pristine acres surrounded by nearly 400 acres of conservation land and public walking trails. Highfield Hall & Gardens is not your typical historic estate. It is an example of a historic building saved by grassroots community organizing. An effort of tenacity and vision that continues as new research on the structure and its story of the people who lived here add to the building's significance. It offers world-class music, international art exhibitions, culinary classes, family programs, and year-round special events. For more information, visit highfieldhallandgardens.org.
Mission
Highfield Hall & Gardens' mission is to honor the beauty and historic significance of the house and grounds by providing high-quality artistic, cultural, and educational programs for the enrichment of our community and visitors of all ages.
