Brookside Gardens – Art in the Garden

Art is part of our mission! We are proud to support local artists through rotating monthly art exhibits at the Visitor Center. Many of the art pieces showcased in exhibits are for sale. Our exhibit schedule is currently booked through the end of 2026. We are not currently accepting applications for future art exhibits.

Explore the rich intersection between nature and creative expression through our artists, who draw inspiration from the gardens – capturing the color, structure, movement, and seasonal rhythms found in the natural environment of Brookside Gardens and beyond.
