Plein Air Paint-outs and Artist Groups

Artists are encouraged to visit Weir Farm NHP and participate in the ongoing artistic legacy by creating art in the landscape. Due to our limited parking capacity, all groups of artists meeting up at the park in three or more cars must schedule a group visit by making a reservation with the Park. We can typically accomodate artist groups in our overflow parking lot - up to 25 people Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, and up to 15 people on weekends with advanced planning. If you are hoping to meet up with a group of fellow artists, bring your art class to the Park, or want to schedule a paint out, email us at [e-mail] and we will be in touch.
