Weston Mathews, the new Pastor of St. Francis Episcopal, is a patron of the arts and is dedicated to providing community to Great Falls residents and visitors from abroad. He has graciously offered the grounds of St. Francis for artists to convene for plein air gatherings and this is the inaugural event. All levels of artists are welcome, and there will be informal instruction available for newbies who are looking for some initial direction, and I find that seasoned artists are always happy to offer peer to peer instruction. Babies, toddlers, kids, tweens, teens, adults…all ages are welcome to take in nature and dabble around with art supplies to see what they make of it all.

Please pack a lunch and plan to picnic on the grounds from 12-1 after working up a good appetite from your creative endeavours. Socialize and enjoy the ambience.

I will have supplies on hand…10 easels are available to borrow at no charge in addition to some basic paper and charcoal. I’ll have some watercolour and acrylic supplies on hand available for purchase.

You may sign up on our eventbrite page to help us keep track of numbers, and to sign up to borrow an easel. Click Here to Sign up through Eventbrite.
