The Nature Artists’ Guild is offering some end-of-summer opportunities for members and guests to enjoy –

• On Thursday, August 3, 2023, beginning at 7 pm, multi-talented artist and instructor John Fleck will share some of his techniques and inspirations for creating wonderfully tranquil landscapes using one of the oldest artistic mediums, charcoal. This program, sponsored by the Nature Artists’ Guild, is free and open to all.

• On the following Thursday, August 10, 2023, members of the Nature Artists’ Guild will meet at the Gardens at Ball at 9:30 am for a few hours of drawing, painting, and photographing some of the colorful offerings of the display gardens of Ball Horticultural, one of the world’s largest seed and plant distributors. Guild members can register here and receive details and updates.

• Members of the Nature Artists’ Guild (and those who would like to learn more about the Guild) are invited to drop by the Visitor Center of The Morton Arboretum for Art and Coffee on Wednesday mornings beginning at 9 to sketch or chat. The light is incredible and the views are lovely.

• Jane Kellenberger will begin work in the coming weeks for the autumn issue of the the Guild’s members-only publication, the Quarterly. Members will receive an email soon with instructions for submitting photos and articles, due by August 1, 2023.
