- **Event Name**: Painting History: A Guided Plein Air Art Program
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 16 Apr, 2026 at 09:30 am – Thu, 16 Apr, 2026 at 11:30 am (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: For centuries, artists have helped record the story of life on the water. Long before photography, painters captured the ships, harbors, weather, and working waterfronts that shaped maritime communities. Their brushstrokes preserved moments in time, documenting the people, vessels, and landscapes that defined Texas maritime history.

This spring, you’re invited to continue that tradition.

Join us for Painting History, a guided plein air art program set against the inspiring backdrop of the waterfront. Led by an experienced artist instructor, Donna Lee Nyzio, this relaxed outdoor session invites participants of all skill levels to paint the harbor and surrounding scenery by the Texas Maritime Museum while learning techniques for capturing light, atmosphere, and maritime subjects.

Whether you’re picking up a paintbrush for the first time or looking to deepen your artistic practice, this program offers a welcoming environment to slow down, observe the waterfront, and create your own visual record of the harbor today using your own materials and preferred mediums.

Just as artists of the past documented the maritime world around them, participants in this program will help capture the harbor as it exists now, creating a new chapter in the visual story of our coastal community.

All experience levels are welcome.
