Nature

Come paint animals and birds with fellow artists!

Franklin Park Zoo has again invited NEWS to paint the variety of creatures at their fabulous facility during Boston Art Week! NEWS has developed a good rapport with FPZ, and together were featured on the TV program Chronicle in 2018. This early date may likely have painters work at indoor exhibits. NEWS is looking forward to having members and non-members join in the fun of drawing and painting from life at the Zoo. We hope this experience will encourage you to become an Associate Member or Supporter. Visit our website for details.
