Nestled in the heart of Central Texas, amidst the scenic rolling hills and river bluffs, lies the Milton Parker Estate Bed and Breakfast—a tranquil retreat offering a perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. Recently, this serene haven had the distinct pleasure of hosting a group of international artists during the 2024 DEGART Art Event, a celebration of creativity and camaraderie amidst the breathtaking beauty of bluebonnet country.

The DEGART Art Event, organized by DEGA International Art Association and hosted by DEGALLERY, brought together artists from around the globe to immerse themselves in the vibrant Texas landscape during the enchanting Bluebonnet Bloom season. It was not just a gathering of artistic minds but an opportunity to capture the essence of Texas through brushes and palettes, to translate its unique landscapes and characters onto canvas.

At Milton Parker Estate B&B, we were honored to open our doors to these talented individuals, providing them with a cozy retreat where they could unwind after a day of artistic exploration. As the artists painted en plein air, capturing the beauty of our estate amidst the blooming springtime, it was a joy to witness their creativity unfold against the backdrop of our scenic surroundings.

The DEGART Grand Event was not merely about showcasing art; it was about fostering international cooperation and artistic exchange, free from biases and boundaries. It was a testament to the power of art in bringing people together, transcending language and cultural barriers to create something truly remarkable.

DEGA International Art Association's mission to support working artists and emerging arts organizations resonates deeply with us at Milton Parker Estate B&B. We believe in the transformative power of art and are proud to have played a part in this endeavor to benefit the international art community.

As the event drew to a close, the Milton Parker Estate B&B echoed with laughter and lively discussions, as artists shared their experiences and forged lasting connections. The paintings adorning our walls served as vibrant reminders of the creativity and passion that filled our space during those unforgettable days.

To all the artists who graced us with their presence, we extend our heartfelt gratitude. Your artistry has enriched our lives and our surroundings, leaving an indelible mark on the fabric of our estate. We invite you to return to Milton Parker Estate B&B whenever your creative spirit calls, for our doors will always be open to welcome you back.

As we reflect on the memorable experience of hosting international artists for the DEGART Art Event, we are reminded of the profound beauty that surrounds us and the boundless possibilities that arise when art and nature intertwine. Until we meet again amidst the Texas bluebonnets, may your brushes be guided by inspiration, and may your hearts be filled with the warmth of creative expression.
