The Ralston HINGE Creative District is proud to present the inaugural Heartland Plein Air Art Festival, taking place September 13–19, 2026. “Plein air” is a French term meaning “open air.” Unlike studio painting, plein air artists create their work outdoors, capturing the light, atmosphere, architecture, and natural beauty of a place in real time. This immersive approach results in vibrant, one-of-a-kind works that reflect the true spirit of a community. Throughout the week, nationally recognized artists will paint at more than 20 scenic locations across the Metro Area. These will include historic neighborhoods, tourist attractions, and scenic vistas. Visitors are encouraged to explore these sites, observe the artists at work, and experience the creative process up close. The festival culminates in a public exhibition and auction, where attendees can view the complete collection and purchase original works that showcase the beauty and character of the Greater Metro Area.
