Studios Without Walls, a Brookline-based collaborative of sculptors, has exhibited outdoor sculpture and site-responsive installations for more than ten years. These temporary outdoor exhibitions stimulate dialogue about the interrelationship of aesthetics, environment, and the community.

As Olmsted used art — and engineering — to create a landscape of natural beauty, the artists use the interplay between art and nature to draw attention to the beauty of the locale, the aesthetic and environmental benefits of the Restoration Project, the historical importance of the Emerald Necklace, and the legacy of Frederick Law Olmsted.
