An outdoors artist meetup for beginners, hobbyists, and professionals alike!

Grab your paintbrushes, don your sunhats, and join the Argenta Public Library for some outdoor art! Plein air painting is the practice of making art outside, perfect for this summertime weather and all merrier with other creative minds! This meetup is geared towards adults of any artistic caliber and no registration is required. Some materials will be provided, but they will be limited, so you're encouraged to bring your trusty sketchbook and preferred mediums! This event will be held outdoors from 5:00-7:00PM on June 24th, meeting at the front steps of the Argenta Public Library. Personal sun protection, water, and portable seating are recommended for extended periods outdoors.
