Our 24th annual Arts At The Gardens is founded on the belief that the arts, both natural and manmade, enrich human life and create an environment where people and ideas thrive. Sonnenberg Gardens creates an annual exhibition dedicated to raising awareness of the arts in this naturalistic environment at the Thompson Estate.
Your presence at Arts At The Gardens is critical to our success as Sonnenberg’s largest fundraiser for our non-profit in 2025. As always, we will be working hard to ensure the entire experience at Arts At The Gardens mirrors the professional standards of your artwork.
