Art in the Park programs explore connections between art and the natural world through a different hands-on project each month.

May's program is Nature Painting. Calling all artists! Have you ever made paint from natural materials? Come make your own paints with us and show off your creative abilities.

Our paint making program offers a space for all kinds and levels of artists to come together and learn how art relates to nature and history by making pigments from nature. With the paint we make, we'll show off the colors by painting some of the scenery around Foster Falls.

Meeting location: The Discovery Center in the Historic Village at Foster Falls
