Plan Your Special Event

Located on the banks of the Lieutenant River, the Museum offers a captivating setting for your special event. Come see what drew the American Impressionist artists to paint “en plein air” along the river or in our gardens. You’ll be as charmed as they were by the beauty of the landscape. We can accommodate private parties, weddings, and corporate events for up to 150 guests. Tours of the current exhibition after closing hours may be included by special arrangement. Imagine your gathering held in the very setting that inspired a generation of artists. It will be an event your guests will always remember.
