The paintings below are by 24 of the top landscape painters in the country. These artists have been invited to participate in the 2017 Zion National Park Plein Air Invitational during the week of November 6-12. As a preliminary feature of this event, each artist submitted two studio paintings of national parks, including one which features Zion. Each of these paintings is available for purchase, with 100% of the proceeds benefitting youth and education programs in the park. The event is sponsored by the Zion Natl Park Forever Project, the official nonprofit partner of Zion National Park.
The Studio Art Show & Sale is currently on display at the Zion Human History Museum at Shuttle Stop #2 in Zion National Park. The studio exhibit will continue until November 12, but the paintings shown below will remain on sale for an extended period. Paintings can be purchased at the Human History Park Store until the end of the show, or purchased online by calling 1-435-772-3264 for details.
A full schedule of events and artist biographies can be found here.
