Jun 20 Saturday
Join fellow artists on Saturday mornings for a creative refresh in a welcoming, lighthearted environment. You’ll have the option of being inside, in a spacious, light-filled space, or outside under a covered pavilion. You can bring a project you’d like to work on, sketch from provided still lifes, or work plein aire.
These mini-retreats are located in West Knox, in a 20+ acre bucolic setting with fields and woods, on the Tennessee River. All levels are welcome and no experience is needed.
$20 per session or $50 for 3 sessions includes art supplies and yummy snacks.
Space is limited to 15 participants--please RSVP at lunacreates.com/sketch-club the Friday before to save your spot!
