Bring out your creative side at Krannert Art Museum as we explore the museum gardens. Participants should bring materials that relate to their own art practice —sketching, photography, painting, or other media. We’ll talk with local artist Kelly Hieronymus about using what we see in nature to inspire us creatively, then we’ll spend time making art in the gardens.
