An open, all-media art gathering for creatives of every kind!
For years, we have been fortunate to have a couple of amazing plein air artists created in our gardens during our peony events. We have also received some requests from artists hoping to create art in this inspiring space. Now, it is time for us to host an art gathering for artists who are interested in creating in the wild.
