Pro-Am Gallery highlights artist partnerships at festival

At the Pro-Am Gallery, every piece begins with a partnership.

Professional artists are paired with amateur collaborators. Together, they shape the work from the very first spark—selecting the inspiration, defining the subject, building the story, and even participating in the process behind the final piece. What you see on the wall is not just a finished artwork, but a shared vision brought to life through creative exchange.

These collaborations are what make this gallery so special. Take a moment to reveal the connections behind the canvas, then step inside the Pro-Am tent at Festival, April 23–26, to see them in person—with a glass of champagne in hand.

Sponsored by Steve and Lisa Mason.
