October 24 event
Fall has arrived at High Ridge Gardens. Summer thunderstorms have given way to cold fronts dropping down from the north, cooling evening temperatures, and causing the rain-like fall of leaves from the trees.
On Saturday, October 24, High Ridge Gardens will host an open house sunrise to sunset, plein air painting day. Open to all plein air painters for all or part of the day.
Schedule:
Morning painting -wander the trails, paint, photograph and enjoy the peaceful 39 acre setting.
12-2 lunch break, optional art sharing and critique of the morning's work. Lunch will be available for a $5 donation to High Ridge, or bring your own.
Afternoon painting until sunset
Evening of Wine & Cheese, art conversation and camaraderie. Bring your own beverage and a snack to share.

Also email for directions or Mapquest the address 2119 High Ridge Church Road, Marshville, NC 28103. (High Ridge Gardens is on Rock Valley Road, off of High Ridge Church Road. There will be signs)
