Showcasing the work of emerging American artists, the Franconia Sculpture Farm is riddled with amazing, unique artwork. A theme park and playground for the more cultured folk, it constantly evolves as new work replaces the old.
Located just forty-five minutes outside of Minnesota, the Franconia Sculpture Farm "also offers an artist-in-residency program, where both interns and more established artists utilize the space to create installations and sculptures," according to Cool Hunting. This seems like heaven on earth for artists.
