Taft Gardens & Nature Preserve invites you to the celebration of its 5th annual Art in Nature Residency with a Free-but-Ticketed Daytime Opening Exhibition from 3pm - 7pm on Saturday May 10, 2025.
Our residency program provides creative professionals across all mediums with a unique opportunity to develop new works within the inspiring natural setting of Ojai’s secret garden hidden in the mountains above Lake Casitas. Residents are encouraged to engage deeply with the environment, drawing inspiration from the diverse natural resources on the property. Join us to witness the remarkable results of their creative exploration.
This is an "Open-House" style event that starts at 3pm and ends at 7pm. Guests must arrive by 6pm in order to participate.
Guests will park at the Upper Parking. If you or a member of your group has mobility restrictions please contact us ahead of time to coordinate special parking or golf cart transportation.
