2025 Hager House Plein Air Arts Festival
Calling All Artists
Calling all artists, the Hager House welcomes you for an open-air day of creativity. Artists are invited to bring your own supplies and create paintings, drawings, and sketches of City Park scenery. Capture the magic of a single moment in time, or how things change over time. Use light, color, textures, and more as your inspiration.
Once completed, we welcome you to submit your art for display inside one of the three sites in the park: the Hager House, The Valley Art Association at the Mansion House Art Center, and Museum of Fine Arts for visitors to admire through the month until after City Park Fall Fest (Sat. Sept. 20). No fees for artists to participate, free house tour included for participating artists. Rain Date: August 16.
Registration opens at 9am at the Jonathan Hager House located at 110 Key Street. Artists are welcomed to spread throughout the park into any of the three designated zones.
Artists are welcome to relax and cool down in the Museum of Fine Arts Atrium. Guided tours will be available featuring some landscape collections in the museum. More details to come!
Finally, artists are encouraged to stay late for a reception in the Museum of Fine Arts garden from 3pm - 4:45pm to connect and share your experiences with other artists from the day. Alcohol will be available for purchase.
