Alnoba, a sculpture garden and leadership training organization in Kensington, New Hampshire, touches lives on many levels. Designed as a facility for non-profit leadership training, it also embraces conservation sustainability, supports health and wellness by promoting local farms and enfolds it all in an art sculpture garden often trumpeting social justice themes.

A fascinating array of internationally eclectic artists’ works are displayed — including pieces by Andy Goldsworthy of Scotland, Pablo Atchugarry of Uruguay, Ernesto Neto of Brazil and South Dakota artist John Lopez. Scattered about 400 acres and 10 miles of trails, you’ll find sculptures of stone, bronze, fishing line, recycled metal and various other mediums.
