About:

Join artist, Liz Flood, while she guides participants through a plain-air drawing session by the Gowanus Bay.

Together, we'll look closely at the movement of the Gowanus Bay and surrounding infrastructure, bearing witness to this historic and polluted waterway. No experience necessary. This is an opportunity to slow down, engage your senses through drawing, learn some strategies for drawing in the landscape, and meet new people.

What to Bring:

Ink and paper will be provided if needed. If you have them, please bring a paintbrush or two for ink drawing, a sketchbook, and any drawing materials you'd like to use. Also bring a water bottle.
