Opus 40 is a monumental environmental sculpture rising out of an abandoned bluestone quarry at the foot of Overlook Mountain in Saugerties, New York. It is all the work of one man: the sculptor Harvey Fite. Extending over more than six acres, with thousands of tons of exquisitely laid dry stone walling, Opus 40 is one of the most extraordinary attractions in the Hudson Valley.
Opus 40 Inc, founded in 1978 after Harvey’s death by his wife, Barbara, now comprises Opus 40, Fite’s 6.5 acre sculpture, as well as 63 acres of meadows, forested quarry trails, and historic buildings like the Fite House, Fite’s home and original studio, and the Quarryman’s Museum, his homage to local quarrymen.
Acknowledged among the very first Land art earthworks,
Welcoming more than 35,000 visitors annually, Opus 40 has also been a rock in the music scene of the Woodstock area for nearly half a century. During our open season, we host a diverse lineup of musical events and performances -
site-specific and adapted to the sublime spaces of the sculpture, the quarries and the backdrop of the Catskill mountains. Our regular programming includes:
- live music concerts, theatre and cultural events
- guided historical tours, educational workshops and field trips
- nature walks, geology tours and other environmental programming
- yoga, chi gong and wellness workshops
- destination weddings and rented events
- photo shoots (including Barneys NY, VOGUE, Nylon and photographer Nigel Barker)
Critics have called Opus 40:
"one of the most beguiling works of art on the entire continent."
- David Wallis of The New York Times
“a testament to the wondrous and crazy things humans can create.”
- The Art Newspaper
“the best outdoor performance venue in the Northeast.”
- Rolling Stone
