UPDATE: This event is still ON, but watch this space for changes due to FIRE in the area. Should be fine by Saturday.

Paint out, Saturday June 27 8am-11am. Memory Grove (below the state capitol) 300 N Canyon Rd. Lunch right after at Avenues Proper (beat the rush) 376 8th Ave, Salt Lake City, UT 84103. Co-sponsored by Intermountain Society of Artists and Utah Watercolor Society. New artists and visitors welcome.

DETAILS and STATUS as of Monday 6/22

Fire Update & Park Status
  • Status: Memory Grove Park is 100% open and safe to visit.
  • The Damage: A minor 0.5-acre fire on Friday, June 19, affected only 15 trees on the lower east hillside.
  • Impact: The main scenic features (lawn, creek, chapel, fountain) were completely untouched. Expect minor charred areas or faint smoke odors on the far east side.
Top Painting Spots (Wagon-Friendly)
  • The South Lawn & Memorial House: Best for zero walking. Located right next to the parking area. Deep morning tree shade and historic brick architecture.
  • Peredra Fountain (Sunken Garden): A flat 2-minute walk up the central paved path. Features stone tiers, ivy, and deep cliffside shadows.
  • Meditation Chapel Pond & Creek: A flat 5-minute walk up the paved path. Ideal for those wanting to walk further. Features weeping willows, still pond reflections, and rushing water.
Parking & Logistics
  • Target Arrival Time: 7:30 AM – 8:15 AM this Saturday. Space fills up rapidly by 8:30 AM.
  • Primary Parking: Parallel street parking along Canyon Road or the small turnaround loop at the park gate.
  • Wagon Route: Stick to the main Canyon Road entrance. The asphalt paths are wide, smooth, and perfectly flat for pulling gear carts.
  • Late Arrival Overflow: Latecomers can park in the neighborhoods off 3rd Avenue/Spencer Court or the east lots of the Utah State Capitol.
  • Warning: The trails down from the State Capitol are steep and difficult for anyone hauling a gear wagon.
Restrooms
  • Location: The public, wheelchair-accessible restrooms are located near the Memorial House at the lower end of the park.
  • Tip: If you set up further up-canyon at the Chapel Pond, it is a flat 3-to-4-minute walk back down to use these facilities.​​

March 2026 paint-out

Come paint with us at Knudsen Park on March 26th at 4pm!

Dear ISA Members,
Let’s get together to capture the beauty of early spring! You’re invited to join fellow ISA members for an afternoon of plein air painting at Knudsen Park in Holladay.
This 6-acre "nature park" offers a wonderful mix of architectural lines and natural riparian scenery. It’s a fantastic spot to catch the shift in light as we head toward the spring equinox.
The Details
  • When: Thursday, March 26th
  • Time: 4:00 PM – Dusk
  • Where: Knudsen Park, 6293 Holladay Blvd, Holladay, UT
  • What to Bring: Your portable setup, favorite medium, a chair, and a warm layer for when the sun dips behind the mountains.
Artistic Highlights
  • The Creek: Multiple access points to Big Cottonwood Creek for studying moving water and river stones.
  • Perspective: Paved pathways and bridge structures that are perfect for practicing leading lines.
  • The "Golden Hour": The park’s open layout allows for stunning views of the Wasatch Range and long shadows across the meadows as evening approaches.
This is an informal gathering—a great chance to socialize, share techniques, and enjoy the fresh air with the ISA community. All skill levels are welcome!
We look forward to seeing you there and seeing what you create.
