The Odeon
o·de·on
noun: odeon
An ancient Greek earthwork using for gathering community; a space for music recitals and poetry recitation.
A space for gathering wisdom and support;; a place of story-telling and spiritual insight
The Odeon, or small amphitheater, is an accessible, outdoor space for community gatherings and concerts. It is also a space of respite for those visiting the land.
Designed by stone craftsman Dan Snow of Dummerston, Vermont, dry-laid stone construction is employed to devise this site-specific work of environmental art. Dan combines master craftsman skills with sculptural artistry to bring new geologic forms into the natural world.
Dan’s work stands alone as sculpture and comes alive when engaged by visitors. Snow strives to transfigure the essence of place into new forms and experiences through the manipulation of natural materials. From the practical to the fantastical, the works in stone fuse vision with old-world techniques and traditions.
The Odeon is constructed from granite. Ringed with native plants, this will be a space where we can host large and small gatherings, musical performances, and educational opportunities.
