Concept
Celebrate the beginning of summer right by rooting in nature and art making. We bring inspiration and materials from the outdoors into the art studio, and bring artistic creativity outside by exploring the flora and fauna found on Anderson Ranch’s campus and along adjacent trails. As a celebratory finale, we feature our variety of multimedia artworks from our week spent painting, printmaking, bookmaking, handbuilding with clay, and experimenting in an exhibition! Projects include a handmade nature journal, a collaborative painting made with recycled materials, a pressed flower crown, and more!
