About the Event:
Plein Air is back at Mohonk Preserve in 2026! Mohonk Preserve and Roost Arts Hudson Valley will collaborate once again for the fifth Plein Air Art Walk and Online Auction, an inspirational project connecting land, art and community. Each piece of art is created at Mohonk Preserve’s Testimonial Gateway Trailhead in New Paltz.
Nearly 30 artists participated in the 2024 Art Along the Trail event. Interested artists are invited to apply online at the Roost Arts Hudson Valley website.
Completed art will be photographed and will be on display and available for online bidding at the Mohonk Preserve Visitor Center, 3197 Route 44 55, Gardiner, New York until the November first. A closing reception will take place on Sunday, November 1st from 3 – 5 pm. The public is invited to meet the artists and place final bids! Proceeds from the auction will benefit participating artists, Mohonk Preserve and Roost Arts Hudson Valley.
Important notes on bidding:
The auction has a scheduled to end but will be extended by two minutes each time a bid is received. This is done so that if you are actively bidding on an item you will always have a chance to place the final winning bid. Winning bidders will be required to pay the additional credit card processing fees so that all money raised will benefit the participating non-profits.
Item pickup:
Winning bidder must arrange to pick up artwork at Mohonk Preserve’s Visitor Center after the auction ends. Art may be shipped for an additional fee. Please contact Tom Leader at tleader@mohonkpreserve.org to arrange for item pickup or shipping.
