Last year’s event was one of the biggest and most successful in Art in the Orchard’s history, leaving artists and guests alike with a feeling of community, celebration, and togetherness. However, logistical challenges have proved difficult to overcome in recent years, and organizers took time this fall to figure out what Art in the Orchard might look like going forward.

The Ptarmigan team, together with Eve, John and Margaret, have decided to merge Art in the Orchard with Mosaic Festival, which happens on the August long weekend in the beautiful pine forest behind the Community Hall. Art in the Pines will be the new iteration of this iconic event, still tucked amongst the trees, still serenaded by live music through the afternoon, but with the infrastructure and volunteer support that Mosaic Festival can provide. 

We know we can’t replicate the magic of Art in the Orchard in a new location, but we will do our best to make this a seamless transition and a wonderful new experience for all the artists and festival attendees. 

Check back later this spring to see who will be at Art in the Pines.
