2nd Annual Arts Alive! An Art & Rural Garden Adventure
Sunday May 18, 2025 from 10AM-4PM
5 Private Garden Locations featuring local artists

The Southern Oregon Guild of Artists and Artisans presents the 2nd Annual Arts Alive! An Art & Rural Garden Adventure on Sunday, May 18, 2025 from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. Ticket holders will enjoy a variety of art and fine crafts displayed in the unique settings of five picturesque home gardens in the Illinois Valley. Set amidst the background of surrounding forested and snow-topped mountains, the five selected gardens will showcase sculpture, paintings, ceramics, fabric arts, glass arts, woodwork, books, and photography.

The gardens display a range of botanical beauty from brilliant spring blooms to kitchen gardens to native plants and trees among ponds to magical forest laced with sculpture. Each garden setting will have different activities throughout the day -- some for children, some for adults -- storytelling and reading, painting, music, meeting Baron the horse, or sipping a hand-crafted brandy at Marble Caves Distillery or an award-winning wine at Bridgeview Winery.

2025 participating groups and artists TBA! Throughout the day, the Guild Gallery & Art Center, located in the historic Kerby Belt Building in Kerby, will be open from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm as an informational hub for visitors, providing tour programs with maps and wristbands. If not already purchased, tickets will be available, and volunteers will be on hand to answer questions. Bottled water and snacks will also be available for purchase. Adult event tickets will be $20 each, $10 for teens, and youth ages 12 and under are free. Tickets provide full tour access to all five private garden locations and discounts at participating businesses, TBA.
