The Hahn Horticulture Garden (HHG) is not only a fabulous collection of living art; it is a showplace for artists from throughout the New River Valley and surrounding area. The Pavilion hosts 6 artist a year with a wide diversity of visual arts from photography to handmade paper; acrylics, watercolors and oils; mono-printing to metal work. The love of nature is shown in the creativeness of our local artists.
In 2015 the art went outside and Simply Elemental was born. Simply Elemental is an outdoor multi-artist installation integrated along the garden paths, plantings, and trees of the HHG. It is held annually from August 1st and September 30th. Simply Elemental 2018 was the first time that Performing Artists were also included.
In conjunction with the art show, the HHG has conducted a variety of events, including meet the artists receptions, hands-on art workshops, speakers and garden-art tours. Watch our events calendar for dates.

Pictured: Joan’s Art Titled: The Middle Way
This is a group installation inspired by Joan Fullerton. Joan is a Colorado artist who led a workshop for the Blacksburg Regional Art Association in the fall of 2024.
From Joan’s Website: My painting process is one of experimentation and discovery. While I do not work with a predetermined subject in mind, I often end up with paintings symbolic of man’s connection to the Earth.
Joan is exceptionally gifted in helping students gain more freedom in the creative process and discover their unique artistic voice. She believes people are more open to learning and inspiration when having fun. Her workshops are playful and lighthearted.
The Hahn Pavilion presents an exhibit of works inspired by the artists who attended the workshop. This exhibit will be shown until February 28th, 2025
