Artists had 3 hours to produce their art "en Plein Air" using the beauty of the Gardens as their subject matter. They then framed their art and submitted it to be judged. Gary Bloomquist took first place with "Sego Lily Saturday". The Sego Lily Quick Draw is sponsored by the Sandy Visual Art Committee, the Sandy Arts Guild, Sandy Public Utilities and Sego Lily Gardens. The Sego Lily Quick Draw 2017 is scheduled for June 10th.
