Cheekwood in Bloom
In the Spring, Cheekwood’s major event is called Cheekwood in Bloom, or Bloom for short. This year we will not only have our usual three New Member Paintouts, but also have been asked to assist in a new program involving plein air painting. With one of our missions being the education and promotion of plein air painting, we are excited to be invited to their “drop-in” painting sessions, a self-guided opportunity for the public to experience plein air painting.
There will be five of these paintouts each Sunday during Bloom, March 10-April 7, 11am-2pm. The participants bring their own equipment. There will be no formal instruction but Cheekwood wants artists from our membership with plein air knowledge there to answer questions with the option to paint with them. Read more about Bloom here.
Full list of Bloom dates: March 10 March 17 March 24 March 31 April 7

FYI, the New Member Cheekwood paintouts are scheduled for March 21, May 1 and July 11, 2019.
