ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE EVENTS
THE A RTF UL IDEN TIT Y
OF HER MOSA INN
Originally created by Lon Megargee as his
art studio and residence in the 1930’s, the
Hermosa Inn has continued the preservation
of its artful origins, in addition to building
awareness of arts and culture within Arizona and throughout the
Southwest. This can be seen through the collection of original artwork
by Megargee displayed throughout the property, the award-winning
Artist-in-Residence Series and the Southwestern artwork showcased in
the Hermosa Inn Art Walk and in our artful American cuisine.

While it’s easy to think of The Hermosa Inn and LON’s at the
Hermosa as an exclusive boutique resort and a premier restaurant, it
extends beyond that by providing a window on the world of cultural arts
that embraces the spirit of original owner/architect, cowboy artist and
Arizona legend, Alonzo “Lon” Megargee. Bringing well-known artists
and authors here for intimate gatherings was what Lon himself might
have done.
Our dinner series provides an intimate, salon-style evening with
nationally renowned artists over a multi-course wine-paired dinner, while
our brunch series features artist demonstrations with local emerging
artists. We are also very proud of our newest venture, the Blue Door
Art Studio & Gallery, which offers plein aire painting classes, private
lessons, and group lessons for hotel guests as well as locals. We invite
you to join us for the events that we will be hosting in the eleventh year of
what has grown to be a very popular Artist in Residence program due to
your continued support and encouragement.
