SUNY Ulster students plant wire sculptures among tulips for Annual Tulip Festival

Mohonk Mountain House’s overnight and day guests will find a whimsical surprise when visiting the tulip garden, as floral wire sculptures created by SUNY Ulster students have been planted among the real tulips. The tulip festival runs through May 10 at Mohonk Mountain House, 1000 Mountain Rest Road, New Paltz.

SUNY Ulster’s Art Club student members, advised by Rosendale resident Chris Seubert, Associate Professor and Coordinator of the Fine Art, Visual Arts department created the wire sculptures. It is the third year SUNY Ulster has designed art to enhance the 20,000 colorful spring tulip display. This year’s wire sculptures are flowers. Past years have included insects such as dragonflies.
