Weir Farm is calling all artists

Registration is now open for Weir Farm National Historic Site's wildly popular Spring Impressionist Painting Workshops, taught by Impressionist artist and educator Dmitri Wright. These workshops will kick off the 2017 season, inviting artists to join in the tradition of painting en plein air at Weir Farm.The April workshop is designed for intermediate to advanced art students and artists and will focus on spring blooms.

The May workshop is an opportunity for beginning artists interested in learning more about the science and poetry of Impressionist landscape painting to take part in the ongoing artistic legacy of creating art inspired by Weir Farm's stunning landscape. Participants are responsible for bringing their own supplies and must be able to handle their own equipment for field work. Workshops will include introductory classroom lectures, field demonstrations, and critique of the participant's artwork. Registration is free, but space is limited, so please call early to secure a spot!
