About the Festival
The Thanksgiving Point Plein Air Fine Art Festival is a unique event highlighting Utah painters and sculptors in the breath-taking Thanksgiving Point Gardens and surrounding grounds. The purpose of the event is to enable first-hand observation of the tradition of art created en plein air and to promote Utah art. Proceeds from the event benefit Thanksgiving Point Institute’s mission of education and discovery.

Enjoy the sweeping vistas of the Grand Allee, cross the Monet Bridge and watch the flower-bordered creek ripple by, or walk to the amphitheater and marvel at the largest man-made waterfall in the Western Hemisphere

Designed to be a peaceful place where the gifts of nature could be appreciated, Thanksgiving Point Gardens covers 55 acres. Utah landscape architect Leonard Grassli designed a series of gardens motivated by themes: The Creek Garden, the Monet Garden, the Rose Garden, the Fragrance Garden, the Secret Garden, the Italian Garden, the Butterfly Garden, the Parterre Garden, the Vista Garden, and the Waterfall Garden. We also added our Children’s Discovery Garden, which has been a wonderful delight for visiting families.
