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
