We are curating our events by structuring content that seeks to differentiate among information, knowledge, and wisdom. We will be hosting a garden awakening with the Girl Scouts in April and a clean-up of Route 28 with our friends from the National Honor Society in late April. Our first volunteer garden clean up event with I Love My Park is happening on May 2nd. Registration details are below. We are thrilled to be hosting Fawn Brown, a member of the Cherokee Nation from Ft. Worth, TX as our Indigenous Artist in Residence in June. Plan to attend our Digging Deeper event with the Garden Conservancy on October 11th celebrating Indigenous Peoples Day. That is what we know so far! We are sure that more things will pop up as the season unfolds, so watch this space to find out what and when! https://www.brunelpark.org/upcoming-eventsbrunel/i-love-my-park monthly 0.5 2026-04-02

Inspired by the legends and myths he had read, Brunel set off to explore the American West. Out here, through canyons and across deserts, Brunel discovered his love of photography taking pictures of Native Americans and documenting their way of life with a simple box camera. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6d56fd24a2a5033b46c908/1584918312799-4FQJU6SXHO838T8SNRPQ/IMG_0402%2B%25281%2529.jpg Brunel's Story A young Emile Brunel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6d56fd24a2a5033b46c908/1584919190022-UHOH59UF5WN2NNJ98WKO/IMG_0298%252B%2525281%252529.jpg Brunel's Story A young Gladyse “Penny” McCloud. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6d56fd24a2a5033b46c908/1584920576879-IADH18T1GK24NUGYS8EN/IMG_0288%252B%2525281%252529.jpg Brunel's Story - Brunel set to work. He returned to New York City, opened a movie studio with Cecil B. Demille, became a respected portrait photographer, and made his fortune honing and developing the one-hour photo process — revolutionizing the film industry by allowing productions to view footage shot the same day. In 1910, he founded what is now The New York Institute of Photography(NYIP), one of the largest and longest running photography schools in the world. https://www.nyip.edu/. Fulfilling his promise to Gladyse, Brunel sent for her and moved his entire operation north — to a sprawling Catskills property and purchased the John’s Hotel that he transformed into a world-class resort: Le Chalet Indien. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6d56fd24a2a5033b46c908/1584930230956-S6HIABW4FV5DNI9NHVLV/IMG_0317.jpg Brunel's Story Brunel’s original notes and sketches for a totem pole and Moonhaw. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6d56fd24a2a5033b46c908/1584930259271-L4XP9BA3CERYHPZ54F0W/IMG_0351%252B%2525281%252529.jpg Brunel's Story Brunel sits in front of The Great White Spirit still in the midst of construction. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6d56fd24a2a5033b46c908/1584922713964-V5JLXY0J6PC3UYL05TLI/IMG_0380%2B%25281%2529.jpg Brunel's Story https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6d56fd24a2a5033b46c908/698be683-77e7-4168-8219-e3940353b90e/A+and+M+on+the+Stella.PNG Brunel's Story The completion by A and M Masonry of the restoration of the Great White Spirit Totem (July 2023). https://www.brunelpark.org/artist-in-residency daily 0.75 2026-03-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6d56fd24a2a5033b46c908/1625933235433-1TCFZGSHWMBKNEPT2FGO/Paccione+Headshot+2.png Artist In Residency https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6d56fd24a2a5033b46c908/1640102072876-REVL9WPSCJZB4L2ZB615/Screen+Shot+2021-12-21+at+10.54.21+AM.png Artist In Residency https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6d56fd24a2a5033b46c908/1650229220555-80YHOO5CTQ6RAYHZ1IRD/Allan%2BMadahbee.jpg Artist In Residency https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6d56fd24a2a5033b46c908/1650229403533-JC3F237YJEGQEKOB54J4/Dahlak.jpg Artist In Residency https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6d56fd24a2a5033b46c908/1650403636164-T34EXF5IA6K0CDYYDHAG/15591367_1192764814152336_720615106781724207_o.jpeg Artist In Residency https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6d56fd24a2a5033b46c908/1554fcbe-920a-498f-af2b-867429a3056a/Von+Hyin+Kolk.JPG Artist In Residency https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6d56fd24a2a5033b46c908/182a0aa9-18e2-47b6-9f2e-29bfcce22feb/Eve+Joslyn.jpg Artist In Residency https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6d56fd24a2a5033b46c908/4d360f93-75fe-4ca3-b50c-5589d05e494b/IJC_4.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6d56fd24a2a5033b46c908/1585948974823-95VD9HV1JSZR7PZ7J01V/Screen+Shot+2020-04-03+at+4.52.20+PM.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6d56fd24a2a5033b46c908/c095cf22-f1c9-4ec0-900a-49d7bb351cbb/IMG_7386.JPG Artist In Residency - Brunel Park’s Artist in Residency Program Open AIR at Brunel Park is open to established and emerging literary artists, nature inspired artists, horticulturalists, scholars, fiber artists, photographers, filmmakers, musicians, and performing artists whose practice explores and responds to the natural world.

Artists must be at least 21 years old to apply. The applications for 2026 residencies are accepted on a rolling basis. Please note: given the configuration of the Cranesbill Cabin, we cannot accept canvas painters, sculptors, ceramists, or artists who require an open loft studio type of space.

Our plants not only provide visual beauty and emotional support to our visitors (and the local pollinators and wildlife), but are pathways to conversations surrounding land use, community health, and ethnology. In service of this mission, we embrace the ethos of indigenous horticulture by utilizing natural and herbal pest maintenance practices on native plants. We also select plant species that are endemic to our land. Many of these species may have been prevalent at one time but are now absent -- and our work ensures their survival in the Catskill ecosystem, to rejuvenate the soil, feed our visitors, and heal our community for the next seven generations. We have been certified by the National Wildlife Federation as a Community Wildlife Habitat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6d56fd24a2a5033b46c908/1585952014078-TV0O9626LEKO4U2KA52U/IMG_4355.jpg In the Garden - Visit us to explore more!

Brunel was deeply enamoured of Native American people and devoted half of his lifetime to constructing concrete expressionistic sculptures devoted to these indigenous communities. The result is an extraordinary, surreal, and magical folk art environment that is listed on the National and State Register of Historic Places and is an affiliate member of the Historic Homes and Artist’s Studios program. Today, these sculptures, built between 1927 and 1941, are still standing as a testament to the tangible and intangible cultural assets and practices of the Native American people of our region: the Esopus Munsee/Lenni Lenape within the Mahicannituck River Watershed. The park hosts a plethora of native horticulture and serves as a tranquil, healing, inclusive and reflective space for visitors and residents. Our ongoing focus is on raising funds to replenish our financial stores to support new public programs and ongoing maintenance of the ecosystem and garden they are inseparable from.

Brunel's iconic sculptures were in desperate need of restoration. Nearly 100 years of harsh weather have eroded them past the point of our expertise -- and we brought in the experts. Extending the lifespan of these iconic sculptures has been an important objective in our commitment to hold this place as a community center for dialog, knowledge sharing, healing, and connection. In saving these sculptures, it is our intention both to acknowledge those who came before us, and to transmit their legacy to future generations. By contributing to the Friends of Brunel Park, our non-profit organization, you will help provide funds to bring diverse programming and Indigenous perspectives to our land and community. Your donations will also provide matching funds for grants to be raised in support of our ongoing sculpture restoration efforts.

We accomplish this by weaving together its indigenous roots, its history as the inspiration for Emile Brunel’s artistic vision, and its future as a community learning center, public space, and nature sanctuary. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6d56fd24a2a5033b46c908/1584843375373-ORG6N2NLPD3JTGAP3JDS/IMG_4243.jpg Who We Are All original artworks by Bianka Schneider https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6d56fd24a2a5033b46c908/37141ee5-5520-42d4-b463-21b3d4d065ab/C+Nikitin+2023.jpeg Who We Are https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6d56fd24a2a5033b46c908/1594401757179-W9SP2XJZKY3R4YRB9QV3/Jenya+head+shot.jpg Who We Are https://www.brunelpark.org/support daily 0.75 2026-04-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6d56fd24a2a5033b46c908/0d8b076d-8281-41aa-a573-0e81b6c4fd20/community-champions-badge-larger.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6d56fd24a2a5033b46c908/be1fd726-0b7e-4616-a5c9-b3c617e44a09/logo-new+SHM.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6d56fd24a2a5033b46c908/56a8fe16-a0ee-4e45-9d1f-9eeaef616e4c/UCHS+logo.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6d56fd24a2a5033b46c908/6bf34994-d771-4fb8-b83f-cdd700183532/Emerson.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6d56fd24a2a5033b46c908/244f9c24-7c35-41fe-a17c-7f28eed7284c/AMH%2BNew%2BLogo.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6d56fd24a2a5033b46c908/71eb7337-db0d-4c69-aefc-6d185434edf8/Kivstad+foundation.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6d56fd24a2a5033b46c908/e92bc3d8-d208-4f09-a895-fd3aed5337a1/fruition+logo.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6d56fd24a2a5033b46c908/3357356f-6103-46c8-9699-6b01f004450e/IGA.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6d56fd24a2a5033b46c908/3baa534b-8c75-4477-ae79-7c1a7df1c034/HAHSAffiliate+%281%29.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6d56fd24a2a5033b46c908/3435f341-8f97-4c62-be35-50e2bd883c14/Stewart%27s.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6d56fd24a2a5033b46c908/acab3027-e6c4-436d-9d03-ab7f81320d86/ulster+county+logo.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6d56fd24a2a5033b46c908/e5227659-ec57-49e1-8129-fa29c43d8ad3/Bank+of+Greene+County.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6d56fd24a2a5033b46c908/c1dff241-bd59-4759-8997-b47dfd99c2b1/proud_to_support_banner.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6d56fd24a2a5033b46c908/a0be607c-f0c4-4eca-a0f6-b5ad9c2e32b8/Wine+Hutch.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6d56fd24a2a5033b46c908/760a0d25-eaba-4448-a523-94a063353d74/Garden+conservacy.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6d56fd24a2a5033b46c908/580e79ab-7ed3-4a4b-9a31-3e9313ba1707/Spirit+of+Thunderheart+at+Brunel+Park.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6d56fd24a2a5033b46c908/8231e192-050c-418b-bab9-a1121816ab3f/IMG_1705.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6d56fd24a2a5033b46c908/6aba9438-f339-4d51-868e-ab94a0a3d481/%24500+alternate+reserve+for+a+private+event.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6d56fd24a2a5033b46c908/ddc242bf-9675-4c89-aabb-79d3aecbff35/3cc9a0f9-e1e6-78bb-191d-c359916e6ff6.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6d56fd24a2a5033b46c908/f8ef6adf-0713-449c-96c4-843f11deb4ef/%24300+Private+Tour+of+the+house+and+garden.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6d56fd24a2a5033b46c908/da10f203-879c-4630-819f-e70f2a8aa234/%24500+Reserve+for+a+private+event.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6d56fd24a2a5033b46c908/d2c3738f-3afb-4d2a-a0fc-fc21acde66d5/IMG_20230623_093215499_HDR.jpg Feel the Spirit - Support Our Mission As an all-volunteer organization, your donation is used 100% to support the mission of the Friends of Brunel Park and to maintain the Brunel Sculpture Garden.
