We are excited to partner with the Glen Arbor Art Center on their plein air program for youth where a day of outdoor art and imagination awaits at Thoreson Farm.

Young artists will watch plein air painters in action and receive guidance as they create their own paintings, with all supplies provided. Sleeping Bear Forever’s storyteller and two hands-on demonstrators will bring history to life, inspiring the scenes they imagine.  Click the button below and navigate to the Youth Plein Air Experience tab to read more about the day.

Presented by the Glen Arbor Arts Center in partnership with Sleeping Bear Forever.
