Celebrate the changing seasons with a creative morning of plein air painting at Elings Park as part of a yearlong series of free Native Plant Meetups hosted by Santa Barbara Botanic Garden. Paint alongside artists from SCAPE (Southern California Artists Painting for the Environment) and the Garden’s restoration team while enjoying scenic landscapes and learning about the native plant restoration project at Elings Park.
Bring your preferred art supplies, whether oils, watercolors, sketchbooks, or another favorite medium, and spend the morning creating in the open air. No registration is required; simply arrive at the restoration site on the day of the event. Guests may park in the upper lot and walk up the hill or park along Calle Montilla.
This free community program is presented in partnership with Boom Boom Bike Room, Elings Park, Latino Outdoors, PALMA Colectiva, Santa Barbara Public Library, and SCAPE. Volunteers are also welcome to support the ongoing restoration project at Elings Park.
