Intended to graciously align with Wright’s philosophy of organic architecture, the arts, land stewardship, and education, Taliesin Plein Air has been conceived as a celebration of beauty under the umbrella of Wright’s design, bringing together exceptional artists, nature enthusiasts, art collectors, Taliesin patrons and the community.

Taliesin Preservation will be hosting regional artists renowned for their work en plein air for a week-long painting event on the 800-acre Taliesin estate. During the week, artists will be free to paint any outdoor subject or setting within the boundaries established on the private estate. The week will culminate with a Buyers’ Reception and Quick Paint Off-the-Easel for artists to showcase a selection of paintings for purchase.

Plein air painting is a popular and interpretive approach to learning from nature, which was also at the root of influence for Frank Lloyd Wright. At Taliesin, fused with the iconic architecture are patchworks of organic farmland, restored prairies, intimate waterways, stunning oak trees, orchards, gardens, vineyards, and collections.

Income generated from the week-long event will directly support the artistic, cultural, and educational programs that breathe life into the buildings.

Buyers’ Reception $80Friday, September 21Art lovers and collectors will meet and mingle with the Taliesin Plein Air artists and will have first opportunity to purchase paintings created by each artist. All artwork is for sale and ready to go home that evening. Includes hors d’oeuvres, desserts, a cash bar, and Artist’s Choice Award.

Quick Paint Celebration & Off-The-Easel Sale Free and Open to the Public Saturday, September 22 A free event for art enthusiasts of all ages. Watch the featured artists paint for a scheduled two-hour time frame on the Taliesin estate, followed by an off-the-easel sale of the paintings and People’s Choice Award. Food and beverage available for purchase.
