May 2024 Paint-0uts

Spring is here. For Portland that means Flowers and Showers. You have to decide your own tolerance for rain. If it is raining straight down I will attempt to reschedule when the weather is better. Here is our May 2024 calendar:

Friday, May 3rd: Paint the Iris garden in South Waterfront Park, 2001 S River Dr. from 1pm to 3pm.

Thursday, May 9th: Paint Crystal Springs Garden, 5801 SE 28th Ave, from 10am to 12:30pm. The Crystal Springs volunteers request that we carry our paint water in/out, that we have a drop cloth under our easels, and that we don't block the paths. There is an $8.95 entry fee. However, you may enter with the Community Access Program showing a Oregon Trail Card/ SNAP EBT WIC, TANF, REF/RCA or TriMet Honored Citizen. They suggest a pay-as-you-wish donation.

Tuesday, May 14: Paint Elk Rock Garden, 11800 S Military Ln, from 10am to 1pm (the garden is open from 8am to 5pm). The Garden at Elk Rock is privately owned and is generously open for the public to enjoy. Parking is limited at the Garden.  Garden visitors are asked to park in the upper parking lot. I contacted Rachel Holbrook, the garden manager, that we are coming. Please bring some cash so we can donate to the garden's maintenance. There are no restrooms. https://elkrockgarden.org/ 

Wednesday, May 22nd: Paint Portland Wednesday Farmers Market - Shemanski Park, 1010 SW Park Ave from 10am to 12:30pm.

Friday, May 31: Paint Peninsula Park Rose Garden at N. Albina and N Ainsworth from 1pm to 3:30pm. 

Keep painting outdoors,
