Description
On Saturday, August 27th the Wegner Grotto County Park, located 9 miles north of Sparta, will host a day of fun through art making. This event includes exploring one of Wisconsin’s fascinating art environments, the Wegner Grotto, and creating art in the out-doors. Three art activities will be available to visitors: outdoor painting, clay sculpting, and mosaic making. Visitors can learn to paint in the Plein-Air style on a postcard-size canvas. “Plein-Air” means “painting in the open air,” which in this case means painting pictures of the sculptures you see at the Wegner Grotto park. Visitors may also choose to make mosaics and clay sculptures using materials similar to those used to create the Wegner Grotto sculptures. All ages are invited to participate in this free art program. All art supplies will be provided but supplies will be limited.
