Plein Air Art Walk

2022 Plein Air Art Walk

You’re invited to experience art along the trail, an event benefitting Mohonk Preserve, Roost Studios and participating artists.

Experience nature and art as you stroll along the Pin Oak Allee observing artists as they transform blank canvasses into captivating works of art. Sit on a bench under the shade from century old pin oak trees while you enjoy the sounds of nature. Take in the beauty of Mohonk Preserve’s foothills while you slow down from the speed of everyday life.
