Sky High Biennial 2025

Sky High’s inaugural biennial, TREES NEVER END AND HOUSES NEVER END, was a site-specific exhibition exploring the relationship between local ecology, history, and industry in the Hudson River Valley and its connection to New York City. Sited in a historic apple cold storage warehouse along the Hudson River in Germantown, NY, the exhibition marked the beginning of a new chapter for Sky High Farm as it began its expansion onto a new 560-acre farm.

The biennial brought together more than 50 artists from around the world to explore themes close to Sky High Farm’s work at the intersection of climate, agriculture, food access and education. The artists participating in the biennial intend to donate a portion of any sale proceeds to Sky High Farm.

Sky High Farm’s community-centered mission responds to urgencies in the food system by proposing a dynamic model—moving beyond a single issue to understand and address the interconnection of nutrition security, economic and health disparities, and the history of structural, racial, and educational injustice.

TREES NEVER END AND HOUSES NEVER END demonstrates what’s possible when art, agriculture, and activism function as one—uniting the culture-shifting work of artists and the impact of a justice-driven organization.
