The Return of Plein Air to Zion
Hosted By The Zion National Park Forever Project.
The Zion National Park Forever Project, in partnership with Zion National Park and Worthington Gallery, is excited to present the 2024 Zion National Park Plein Air Art Event November 4-9, 2024. This highly anticipated, week-long celebration is open to the public, offering a unique opportunity to experience art inspired by Zion’s awe-inspiring landscapes.
Throughout the week, attendees can enjoy daily plein air painting demonstrations at Worthington Gallery, where a group of renowned artists will bring Zion’s beauty to life on canvas. These free art demonstrations provide an intimate look into the creative process of plein air painting—capturing the natural light and stunning scenery in real-time. Visitors can interact with the artists, watch as they work, and gain insight into how Zion’s majestic cliffs, canyons, and rivers inspire their masterpieces.
The event will reach its peak with two major gatherings. In addition to the demonstrations, the event includes a Gala and opportunities to engage with the artists during special programs, where they will share their inspiration, techniques, and stories about painting in Zion. The event is part of a broader mission to highlight the intersection of art, nature, and conservation, with proceeds from the sale of artworks benefiting Zion National Park Forever Project’s ongoing efforts to preserve and protect the park.
The Zion Plein Air Art Invitational celebrates the history of art in Zion National Park while directly supporting the artists and the Zion National Park Forever Project’s mission of conservation and education. Your participation is crucial in furthering these important initiatives.
