Plein Air

A DYNAMIC WAY TO EXPERIENCE IRONDEQUOIT GARDEN WALKS 2026

Introducing a brand-new initiative this year! Plein Air, the art of painting outdoors, created directly within the landscape.

This initiative enhances the Garden Walks with live artistic experience, as painters work on-site in the gardens.

Guests can observe each piece as it develops and discover how artists capture natural light, color, and mood on canvas. This interactive experience highlights creative talent while celebrating the beauty of our community, offering an inspiring new perspective to enjoy.

If you’re an artist—or know someone who might be interested—we invite you to share this opportunity, or click below to open the application to explore the details and apply if interested.
