All ages are welcome at any skill level. The art room will be in the Harr Center at Blackwater Falls Lodge beginning at 6:00 p.m. This activity is open to the public, overnight guests at the park or attending art in the park only, welcome!
The final art piece is a night scene of shadowy moonlight, mountains, vegetation, and the flashing signals of fireflies also known as lightning bugs.
A bonus to the Art in the Park evening is meeting the park naturalist during the art program and learning a bit about fireflies. They are magical with their different flashes of light and communication. This program is also at Blackwater Falls Lodge.
