Members of the Nature Artists’ Guild of The Morton Arboretum will find so much more than these fierce predators at the Jurica-Suchy Nature Museum of Benedictine University paint-out on March 6, 2025.

Participants will find approximately 10,0000 specimens on display at Jurica-Suchy, including birds, mammals, reptiles, insects, fish, and much more to sketch, draw, or photograph between 9:30 and noon.

Coffee and Celia Rodee’s delicious homemade muffins will be shared with all. Drop-ins are welcome, but registration, either online by clicking here, or by emailing Celia, is recommended to receive further instructions and updates (and will help her estimate how many muffins to bake).

Some seating is available at the museum, but artists are also welcome to bring their own portable chairs. The museum is located inside of Benedictine University, but the paint-out is scheduled during their spring break, so plenty of parking should be available. The museum will be closed to other visitors during the Guild’s paint-out.
