Head to Green Mountain Falls today for the debut of James Turrell's Skyspace.
in Green Mountain Falls, is changing the structure of the fest’s original vision. The addition of multidisciplinary artist residencies has already stretched Green Box’s time parameters beyond a few concentrated weeks each summer, but the plan now is to keep Skyspace — accessible only by two hiking trails up Red Butte — open year-round, weather permitting. And the price of a visit, sometimes free and never more than $5, is another enticement.
Now that we’ve reached our fourteenth annual festival, Green Box has expanded into year-round programming. Through family funds, they created the Historic Green Mountain Falls Foundation, which is charged with the preservation of historical and natural assets through town restoration and trail management, as well as buying land in town to preserve the natural state of the town.
That gives us more flexibility. We can still activate the space even if we need to close the roof. It just takes on different colors than the open-roof sunrise or sunset shows. At the current moment, we’ve decided to keep Skyspace available year-round, whenever the temperature is above 25 degrees. The seats are even heated. Plus, it works differently depending on the time of season.When it’s open for sunrise or sunset experiences, the space is serving as a naked-eye observatory.
I find it to be a meditative, contemplative experience — I feel there’s something spiritual about it. After hiking up, I feel energized, and as my breathing settles down, I’m relaxed.
