What do you like to do outside in the summertime? While kids are running through the sprinkler or eating watermelon, several dozen local artists will be enjoying the sunshine at Thanksgiving Point in Lehi.
The annual Thanksgiving Point Plein Air Festival, today and Saturday, celebrates fine art and fine weather by inviting painters and sculptors to engage in their craft in the fragrant, leafy environs of Thanksgiving Point Gardens. Visitors can stroll around the gardens and watch the artists at work from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. both days.
Among the artists scheduled to participate are painters/illustrators James Christensen, Gary Smith, Jeff Pugh and Greg Price, and sculptors Dennis Smith and Gary Lee Price. Completed works of art will be sold at a silent auction Saturday night. "En plein air" is a French-derived expression the describes a style of painting done in the open air.
Admission to the festival is $10 for adults (ages 13-64), $9 for seniors (age 65 and older) and $6 for children (ages 3-12). |
