Artist Garden Exhibit
Art Barn has invited all students, instructors, regional artists, and other friends of the Art Barn to contribute to this year’s gala fundraiser auction. They have submitted their small works for our “Artist Garden” auction.
For the 2026 Art Barn School of Art Gala fundraiser, the event auction will include the Art Barn “Artist Garden” - a selection of small works on floral themes by regional artists.
​
We invite guests of the Gala to explore the "Artist Garden", let whimsy and inspiration take root as the blossoms of creativity bloom.
