Heartland Plein Air Arts Festival
Hinge Creative Arts District - Heartland Plein Air Arts Festival
The Ralston Hinge Creative District became a certified Creative District through the Nebraska Arts Council in 2024. The District is planning its inaugural 'Plein Aire' event in September 2026, hosting artists from across Nebraska and country to engage in painting scenes around Ralston and the Omaha-Metro. 'Plein Aire' is a French term for 'in the open air'. During such an event, artists paint scenes from nature, allowing them to capture the essence of the scene. The event will engage the public, provide educational programming, and opportunities for visitors to purchase art by renowned artists.
If you are interested in helping to bring this artistic event to Ralston, please consider a donation! Donations through REDC are tax-deductible.
