Two framed views of the Devil's Glen are part of the Sculpture in Woodlands project. The project was formed in 1994 with the aim of creating a greater awareness of wood as an artistic and functional medium. Creative artists are facilitated in responding in new ways to the natural environment; in return the artists give the community a rich and diverse range of work, situated in an environment that is very different to a traditional gallery space. Artists are commissioned on an annual basis and to date thirteen sculptures, by both Irish and international artists, have been permanently sited in the Devil's Glen.
This collaboration was described by poet and Nobel prize-winner,
Seamus Heaney, as: "an act of faith in the worth of art itself, an act of commitment to the positive values of form and order and solitary contemplation... I commend again the creative vision... which has made Sculpture in Woodland such a vital part of the world we inhabit as we move towards the millennium."
