This Month’s Open Day will feature “Plein Air Artists Lovely Renditions of the Hinkle-Garton Farmstead.” Plein Air painters gathered at the Hinkle-Garton Farmstead in May at the invitation of Bloomington Restorations, Inc. (BRI).  Members of the Bloomington Watercolor Society (BWS), the Upland Plein Air Painters (“UP”) and Artists from Brown County Arts Alliance enjoyed creating images of spring at the Farmstead. These paintings include images of two historic homes, farm land, gardens and outbuildings. These artistic creations will be in gallery and on display inside the 1892 Queen Anne style homestead at monthly Farmstead Open Days through August 31, 2019. Paintings will be available for purchase Saturday, June 29, at the Farmstead and at subsequent monthly Open Days and events throughout the summer.  Individual artists will donate twenty-five percent of the proceeds from the art sales to pay for restoration of the Hinkle-Garton Farmhouse. In addition, Visitors can enjoy the various plants, trees and the beauty of the volunteer garden. A variety of plants will be available for sale as well as jams, jellies and maple syrup produced by volunteers. Friday Musicale and The Bloomington Old-Time Music and Dance Group with Mark Wiedenmayer will be hosting music in the parlor. Volunteers will give indoor tours of the Farmhouse.
