A special opportunity! The prairie is in bloom and amazing to see - and paint! So join us at 5pm on Tuesday July 29th for an evening of art and nature. Michelle Roise will do a presentation on Nature Journaling too.
We been invited to join!
The blurb from Fargo parks is:
Join the Fargo Park District and United Prairie Foundation for Paint the Prairie, an evening of art and nature at Urban Plains Park from 5:00-8:0 pm on Tuesday, July 29. This unique event invites participants to explore the beauty of native prairie plants through painting en plein air, the French term meaning “in the open air.” Inspired by the Impressionists, this style of painting encourages artists of all skill levels to capture the natural light, movement, and colors of the prairie landscape in a relaxed outdoor setting.
Attendees are welcome to bring their own painting supplies, or they can register in advance for just $5.00 and we’ll provide the materials. Local plant experts will be on hand to help identify native grasses and wildflowers, while art volunteers will offer painting tips for those seeking guidance. After the event, participants will have the opportunity to display their finished work at the Monarch Butterfly Tagging event in late August.
