Bloomin’ Artists invites artists to fan out into Hampton and the surrounding environs to create small works of art that are then sold by silent auction. The artists get to showcase themselves and their talent and the bidders obtain original works of art that are affordable to them. The event is held over two days and as the artists give of their time and talent, the proceeds are divided between the artists and the foundation.

Bloomin' Artists is returning! July 23 and 24, 2022. Saturday and Sunday. Artists will fan out to locations in and around scenic Hampton to create small works of art. All pieces created will be sold by silent auction at the Lighthouse River Centre. Auctions at 2:30 and 4pm. There will be activities for kids Saturday afternoon hosted by Hampton Alliance for Lifelong Learning. All proceeds shared between the artist and the John Peters Humphrey Foundation.

For those artists who wish to participate in it, there is a Bloomin’ Project component that consists of giving the artists a bare wooden item to paint in advance. These items are then also sold by silent auction and in the past the item has been a bird house, a tray, a fish and a garden tote to name a few. Also organized is a Bloomin’ Kids activity where younger children create and take home their own masterpieces.

Initially held every year, this community engaging event is now held every two years.
