South Rim Village: Plein Air Painting - Grand Canyon Celebration of Art

Grand Canyon National Park

Special Event
  • Every day at 6:30 AM from September 07, 2024 to September 13, 2024
  • Free

Participating artists paint on-site at locations of their choice along the South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park. Park visitors and residents will have the opportunity to watch them paint "en plain air," as they seek to represent the shifting light and shadow, amazing landforms, and extraordinary colors of this vast landscape. Most artists prefer to paint mornings and evenings when the canyon is the most vibrant.

While observing the artists please respect their space.
