Special Events

New Harmony is the venue for the 14th annual "First Brush of Spring" Plein Air arts competition and show.  Artists from around the country set up easels and capture the colors and freshness of the new season - with the beauty of the town of New Harmony as the backdrop.  The week concludes with the awarding of ribbons and sale of many of the works.

The New Harmony Business Association is proud to host "Arts in Harmony" - May 5th & 6th.  It is one of the largest exhibitions of artists in the Tri-State.  Dozens of regional and national artists both show and sell their work.  You'll discover a wealth of arts and crafts, from paintings, hand-blown glass, sculpture, and jewelry to ceramics, basketry, ironwork, woodwork, and furnishings.  Artists are selected based on originality, creativity and craftsmanship; commercial molds, kits and commercially fabricated forms are not permitted in the show.  All of the work is handmade and all of the artists are present to talk about their artwork or demonstrate their skills.
