The Weir Farm Artist Collective, started in 2023, is a collaboration of independent artists following the tradition of creativity within the Weir Farm National Historical Park landscape. Its purpose is to inform, support, encourage, and engage accomplished artists of all mediums to share ideas, opportunities, and technical solutions. Local artists have the opportunity to connect and share during monthly meetings and paint-outs. The programs are open to all artists, and the target audience includes artists of all skill levels working in any medium that come to the Park for inspiration. The Weir Farm Artist Collective serves an opportunity for artists to connect with other Weir Farm artists and build a community of practice, and is co-facilitated by two local artists, Bobbi Eike Mullen and Leslie Carone.

The artists are: Chris Bedell, Robert Boger, Leslie Carone, Thomas Carruthers, Joan Cone, Roberta Delano, Diane Dooley, Jama Hansonbrook, Alice Hayes, Eva Llanos, Kathie Milligan, Bobbi Eike Mullen, Jill Nichols, Kelsie Oreta, Penny Pearlman, Maria Reed, Malina Schneider, Lesley Schwarzschild, Loure Shaw, Day Shields, Clarice Shirvell, Ival Stratford Kovner, Eileen Tavolacci, Christina Tugeau, Eugene Willingham, and Jane Wright Wolf.
Weir Farm National Historical Park congratulates the 26 participating artists, and thanks the Wilton Library for the opportunity to feature the work of the Weir Farm Artist Collective.
