Calling Local Artists!
NEW Opportunity to connect with your peers - Weir Farm Artist Collective
Next Gathering June 8, 10:00 am

The Park is offering a new opportunity for local artists to connect and share during monthly gatherings, led by artists, for artists. The Weir Farm Artist Collective is a collaboration of independent artists following the tradition of creativity within the Weir Farm landscape. Its purpose is to inform, support, encourage and engage accomplished artists of all mediums to share ideas, opportunities and technical solutions. Join us for the next gathering on Thursday June 8, 2023 from 10:00 to 11:30 am! No registration required!

What happens during the monthly meetings?
The program will start with an open forum group discussion facilitated by local artists and Weir Farm instructors Leslie Carone and Bobbi Eike Mullen. After the informal group discussion, artists may choose to stay and paint together or continue conversations. Stop by for coffee and refreshments and discussion with your peers.

June's gathering will focus on the plein air artists' setup. Artists are encouraged to bring their outdoor painting gear, field easels, and supplies and to share tips and hacks for plein air painting, and to stick around and paint after the morning discussion. Don't have a field setup? No worries, the Collective is open to all types of artists and bringing supplies is not a requirement. The morning will begin with introductions and a short discussion, followed by learning more about plein air setups, tools, and tricks.

The target audience for the Weir Farm Artist Collective includes artists of all skill levels that come to the Park for inspiration - for example there are many plein air painters that come to the Park regularly - this is an opportunity for these artists to connect with other Weir Farm artists.
