Our Farm to Art: Plein Air Art Event is coming up Monday July 13.

Never tried making art outside? No problem. We can set you up with a basic kit to get started. An optional add-on of a watercolour or acrylic painting kit is available when you register.

Not a painter? Also not problem. You are welcome to work in any media as long as it’s non toxic and keep it simple. Pack it in, pack it out!
