JOSA Jazz on a Sunday Afternoon & Art in Nature Sculpture Walk

Join us for a magical late‑summer evening of music, art, and nature at the Estate. Begin at 4:00 PM with a guided Sculpture Walk through the 2026 Art in Nature Sculpture Exhibit, where garden paths glow in the golden hour and works by local and regional sculptors come alive in the landscape. Meet the artists, explore the grounds, and soak in the beauty of the setting. 

At 5:00 PM, settle in for JOSA Jazz on a Sunday Afternoon, an outdoor concert that carries the celebration through sunset. 

Charcuterie will be provided as a delicious accompaniment to the art and music, and guests are welcome to bring their own picnic to enjoy on the grounds. 

Celebrate creativity, community, and the lingering warmth of summer during this special evening—where art, music, and nature come together in perfect harmony.
