- We will stamp canvasses and other painting surfaces in the Visitor’s Center after you sign in.
- Food and refreshments will be provided.
- The QUICK PAINT begins after all are signed in, stamped, and ready to go. We will announce when to begin.
- Paintings will be judged immediately after painting has concluded.
