Get Out and Paint!: A Plein Air Day at Lynden

Free to members or with admission to the sculpture garden.

It’s time to pull on the fingerless gloves, pack up the pencils, pastels and paints, and make art en plein air! Children, families, amateurs and professionals are invited to set up an easel or board on the grounds and capture Lynden in the media of their choice. We will provide hot cider and cookies; should the weather prove truly daunting, we will try to accommodate artmakers at strategic indoor viewing posts.

New to the joys of making art outdoors? The art studio will be plein air central: drop in during the afternoon for pointers and check out a watercolor kit to take outside.

Dress for the weather, bring a seat and consider an umbrella.

Additionally, there will be a docent-led tour at 2 pm (this tour is usually on Sundays at 2:30pm).
