August ART WALKS with Caroline Porter in Downtown Fairmont, Minnesota

Advertisement

Take a stroll downtown like never before! Join me, local Fairmont Artist, Caroline Porter on a walk around Downtown Plaza then join me for a drink at Fairmont Brewing Company (FBC). I'll lead a group of students on a walking tour where we make stops on the sidewalk along the way to urban sketch (paint/draw) preselected buildings, historical landmarks, and/or nature aspects around town. Throughout the class, I'll talk about fun historical facts about each subject which have been provided by the Martin County Historical Society. At the end of class, each stop/page will be bound together with twine to make an art journal keepsake of your experience. There will be a total of four pages: cover page, stop 1, stop 2, and stop 3.

We'll make two stops around downtown, then make our last stop at Fairmont Brewing Company where we'll paint and draw our last subject. One free drink at Fairmont Brewing Company is included with your ticket. Not in to alcohol or brought the kids? No worries! FBC has a variety of non-alcoholic drinks including NA beer and seltzer, water, sparkling waters (Poppi and Bubblr) and root beer.

Please understand this class will have a fair amount of walking involved. Between each stop, we will be walking between 2-3 blocks. I will not be able to shuttle students from stop to stop. Students will be responsible for getting to and from locations.

RAIN OR SHINE this class goes on! If it is raining, excessively hot, or other extreme weather, we will move the class indoors to Fairmont Brewing Company. We will have the entire class in their backroom. I will provide pictures to supplement the outdoor stops. I will email students if there are any changes due to weather. Please check your spam folder in case my email finds its way there.

*Instructor will provide all necessary materials for this class, however, if you would like to use your own materials (i.e. paints or brushes), students are more than welcome to bring their own.
