The De Soto Art Council is hosting their 3rd Annual Plein Air Event, Saturday May 4th from 10- 2pm in conjunction with the Happy Valley Spring Festival.

Come to the Arts Council table to get your paper/canvas stamped before you begin. You can set up and draw around the farm; perhaps paint their adorable goats?! Cash prizes will be awarded to the top three artists. We will also have a children’s category for kids 12 and under. Bring your own art supplies and make sure to turn your masterpiece in by 2pm to be in the running. This event is free.

Registration and more info are available at desotoartsks.org/plein-air. Special thanks to Happy Valley Farm for inviting us to participate in their fun event!

• Bring your own project and supplies, and come hang out for a few hours and make some progress on whatever you’re working on.

What goes on at meetings? Meetings are generally a combination of talk about the local art scene, sharing of members’ current art projects (as desired), and business.

Location is in the Arts Council room in the lower level of De Soto City Hall, 32905 W. 84th St, De Soto, KS 66018. (The room is past the Jazzercise room if you come in near the gym. Alternately, use the DAC entrance on the left side of the building if you’re facing the main entrance. Look for the large De Soto Arts Council sign on the brick.)

Who can come? Non-members are welcome to come try a couple of meetings before joining.

Can I get more information? Sure! Contact us using the info on the Contact Us page and we will do our best to help.

Join us for First Thursdays!

What is it? DAC is hosting fun events open to the public every First Thursday at 7pm in the DAC room. Events will include Open Studio times, Artist Talks, Art Demonstrations, and more!

Who can come? First Thursdays are open to all! Join us and bring a friend if you’d like!

If it’s an Open Studio night, what do I bring? Bring whatever project you’re working on, or one you want to get started! Everyone brings their own materials and gets to have dedicated time to work on their art. It’s a good time to get to know other artists and get feedback on your work (if you want it!). If it’s not an Open Studio First Thursday, you don’t need to bring anything unless specified.

Can I get more information? Sure! Contact us using the info on the Contact Us page and we will do our best to help.

What if I have a suggestion for an artist or topic for an upcoming First Thursday? We’re always looking for artists to do demonstrations and/or good speakers and topics! If you have an idea, a lead, or if you know someone who you think would make a good presenter, please let us know!
