Are you seeking a creative outlet but find that your time--and training--is limited? Come to the Brandywine River Museum for a "Creative Escape." Designed for adults who want to awaken their inner artist, the program will focus on Fruits of Summer, beginning with a guided tour of paintings of fruit and other still life subjects. Discover how artists "fool the eye" of the viewer, then develop your own imaginative ideas as you make a work of art.
The $20 fee ($15 for members) includes art materials and light refreshments.
Register on the Museum's website, www.brandywinemuseum.org or contact education at 610-388-8382.
