Cost: $20

Join artist Kaitlin Deering and cellist Dan Kassel for an evening of music, creativity, and connection in the natural beauty of the farm.

The experience begins with a brief guided reflection inviting participants to slow down, notice their surroundings, and engage their senses. As Dan performs a live cello concert outdoors, participants will be invited to respond through painting, allowing music, atmosphere, color, memory, and emotion to guide the creative process.

Rather than focusing on technical instruction or creating a finished painting, this workshop encourages curiosity, intuition, and personal expression. Through a series of simple prompts offered throughout the evening, Kaitlin will help participants explore the relationship between sound, color, movement, and feeling while developing their own visual response to the music and landscape.

No painting experience is necessary. All materials will be provided.

Participants will leave with a unique experience of music, art, and nature woven together.
