Nature in the Arts – Plein Air Painters + DIY Collage + Plant Portraits

Channel your inner artist and create a masterpiece with mixed media and collage activity led by the Art Barn School of Art, or a Plant Portraits activity led by the South Bend Museum of Art. Enjoy the backdrop of musical performances by the Music Village while you watch plein air painters in action as they draw inspiration from their surroundings at Lydick Bog Nature Preserve. This event will celebrate the local art community while allowing visitors of all ages to create their own works of art!

Stop by any time between 10am and 1pm Eastern Time (9am-noon Central). Artists and art activities will be available throughout the day, and you’ll be able to take home your own piece of art!

Nature in the Arts is a family-friendly program offered by Shirley Heinze Land Trust connecting the art community and people to nature. We encourage individuals and families of all backgrounds and ages to participate. Pets are welcome, too! Please be sure to pick up after them and keep on a leash. Snacks, water, and restrooms will be available at this event.
