Art, nature and community combine at Fox Haven Farm's Art Show & Garden Party

Sep. 18—Fox Haven Farm will host its Art Show & Garden Party, an experience that brings together the worlds of art, nature and community.

The gathering will be held from 3 to 6 p.m. Sept. 23 at Fox Haven Farm's Dairy Parlor in Jefferson.

Guests can sip on herbal cocktails and wander through the vibrant surroundings of the garden, where tranquility and serenity await. The event offers a chance to unwind, connect and find inspiration in the embrace of nature. Guided tours of the gardens will be given.

A rich assortment of artistic treasures will be onsite, including an array of paintings, photographs, sculptures and prints. The exhibition presents the distinctive works of more than 30 esteemed local artists, including Lisa Sheirer, Andrea McCluskey, Kirke Martin, Mary Waldhorn, Kristen Groenke, Kai Hagan, Ann Terbush Schaefer, Robert Strasser, Steven Dobbin, Jim Starner, Doug Moulden, Harriet Wise, Kesra Martin and many others.

Following the art viewing, a silent auction will commence. All bids must be submitted by 5:15 p.m.

Every bid made contributes to the land conservation efforts and farm-based educational programs for children and adults led by Fox Haven. This event is not just about acquiring art; it's about making a meaningful impact on the local environment and community.

The exhibition inside the Dairy Parlor will be accessible to the public beginning Sept. 21. Viewing hours will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. Sept. 21 and 5 to 7 p.m. Sept. 22.
