Join local artists in the Museum Heritage Garden as they create original works and explore different mediums, drawing inspiration from the luscious garden landscape. Bring a picnic and your creative spirit. All events are on Tuesday afternoons from noon to 3 p.m.

On Tuesday, August 2, welcome Filipe Figueira.

Filipe’s foray into painting was a silver lining of the COVID-19 pandemic. He is still exploring the process, using mostly oils and oil pastels, enjoying the meditative rhythm of applying paint to canvas and hoping that the brush strokes continue to dance on the canvas after he is finished. At this moment he’s interested in pushing the boundaries between an honest portrayal of the subject with a sense of abstraction and bold minimalist strokes.
