Lee Bauman will guide students through the process of painting a scene inspired by the dunes. The series of events hosted by the Indiana Dunes National Park in partnership with the Art Barn School of Art is generously sponsored by Friends of Indiana Dunes. The classes are free, open to beginners, and accessible to those with physical limitations. Zoom is
required for these virtual programs. Every event will feature a different theme related to the National Park or dunes. No prior experience necessary. A supply kit (including a canvas, acrylic paint, a brush, and a list of needed supplies found in your own home) may be picked up at the Indiana Dunes Visitor Center before the event. If you can not pick up a kit, please call 219-395-1882. The Indiana Dunes Visitor Center is located at 1215 North State Road 49, about one mile north of Interstate 94. By coming together our organizations are collectively able to accomplish a common goal of reaching more individuals through cultural programming that links art and nature together.
