We look forward to seeing you at the Grand Rapids Plein Air Event. Villagers are eager to watch as artists join together for a day of relaxation and creativity.  Please park and register in the parking lot between the Mill House and Snyder’s Pizza at the Welcome Station. Just look for the signs! You may paint where you choose, so let us know your choice when you register. There is no fee.
