The 29th Annual Art in Pilar’s Garden opens Friday!

We are thrilled to welcome you all back in person for what has become a mainstay of the Utah art scene! What began over 30 years ago when Pilar noticed people peeking in her windows during a garden tour has grown into a three day event featuring nine local artists and Pilar’s original artwork.

This year’s Art in Pilar’s Garden is an opportunity for all to walk through her unique, art-filled home, mingle in the garden, enjoy beautiful art, and support local artists. All pieces will be for sale, and your purchase supports local artists and their craft!

Our fabulous guest artists are:

Anne Albaugh

Marilyn Read

Eruera “Ed” Napia

Rad Cuch

Susan Conrad Risse

Polly Plummer

Sue Martin

Steven K. Sheffield

Randi Lile

Create your vision for 2020 with Art – Vision Board Workshop!

What are you dreaming of or visioning into as we begin this brand new decade? What lights you up as you think about that? What do you really desire in your life at this time?

I invite you to join me this January 18th from 2-6 pm at Impressions Art Studio for my Vision Board Workshop as you ease into this threshold time!

We’ll use acrylic paint, collage & mixed media materials to create your unique vision board on a 16”x20” stretched canvas. When you leave with your creation, it will be ready to hang in a prominent place in your home or workspace. That way, every time you pass it, you’ll be reminded of what you’re really wanting in your life.

Take some time to dream, meditate, spend time in nature or just begin browsing through magazines, old calendars, maps & books. When you feel an intuitive connection to an image, word or phrase, just tear it out & begin your “Vision Board Folder.” Don’t worry about ‘why’ you’re drawn to something, just trust that there’s a reason for it. Stay out of your head & instead, remain in an open & curious heart space.

As we begin to assemble our Vision Boards on the day of the event, connections will begin to form & puzzle pieces will perhaps begin to make sense. This process is about tuning inwards & listening to your soul’s longings & desires. If you don’t have time to do this ahead of the workshop, that’s fine.

No art experience is necessary & all materials provided – $35./all-inclusive. Limited to 10 students. Please Venmo @Susan-Risse-3 to reserve your spot.

Happy New Year! 🎊
