Vermont Public Community Calendar

This fall, step into the creative world of Vermont sculptor Gerald K. Stoner at Underhill Ironworks. Wander the gallery, stroll through outdoor sculpture gardens, and discover steel works that bring landscapes to life.

🎃 In the spirit of the season, enjoy Halloween vignettes woven among the sculptures—playful, atmospheric scenes that make the gardens pop with autumn magic. Perfect for photos, inspiration, and a touch of spooky charm.

Whether your space is big or small, our sculptures transform gardens, lawns, and meadows—adding beauty that shifts with the seasons. During this special event, meet the artist, see works in progress, and explore pieces available for delivery and installation near and far.

🖤 Gallery Open Daily – but for this Open Studio, expect a creative mix of art and Halloween ambiance.
