Sculpture Tours
Guided Sculpture Tours are one of our favorite ways to share the experience of The Land With No Name sanctuary. We are ready to work with your specific needs to create a customized day of art engagement
All sculpture tours are led by Ted and Kate, who will take your group on a half-mile hike in high desert grassland on semi-improved trails. Stories are shared of the 30+ sculptures and their makers while on the trail.
You can also choose to combine your sculpture tour with guest speakers, sunset BBQ's, and a trip to the historic straw-bale Studio House!
For all tours, we recommend wearing closed-toe shoes, long pants to protect from occasional cactus thorns, and brimmed hats for sun shade. Any high fashion choices are always appreciated :)
The Land is located off the grid, 35 miles southwest of Tucson at 4500 feet in elevation. Because of the remote location, unmarked roads, and lack of GPS service, we will lead you out caravan-style.
Scroll down for details on what our tour options are and how to get here:
