SUMMARY:2025 Summer Plein Air Artists Group
DESCRIPTION:Facilitators: Ann Gillespie (agillespieart@gmail.com) and Judy Warner (awarner@charter.net). \nEnjoy the rewarding experience of creating art out-of-doors in Harvard! This group will meet weekly for six weeks to create together in local private and public areas\, including some beautiful sites not usually accessible to the public. While plein air is wonderful\, it can be daunting and difficult to get out consistently on a solo basis. The commitment to working with a group can be extremely helpful in “making it happen” and is also fun and rewarding. \nAll levels are encouraged to participate\, from beginner to professional\, and artists are welcome to create in the medium of their choice. While this program’s volunteer facilitators are generously donating their time to plan\, organize\, and manage the series\, they won’t be providing actual instruction; all participants are encouraged to share ideas\, tips and fellowship. \nDonation: $100 for the six sessions.  All proceeds to benefit Fivesparks. \nSpace is limited. \nDates:  Thursdays\, June 19\, 26; July 10\, 17\, 24 & 31. (rain dates are Friday of the same week\, or rescheduled as warranted; no session the week of July 4th) \nTime:   2:30-5:30pm \nRegistrants will receive tips for working en plein air and the schedule with locations\, in advance of the sessions. \nThe 2025 Summer program has been filled.  Click HERE to subscribe to our newsletter\, to learn about future programs and events.

Inspired by nature and its intricate patterns and rich textures\, most of her work revolves around botanicals and nature-related themes.   \n4 Voices in Color is on view from Saturday May\, 31\, 2025 through Saturday July 12\, 2025.  The exhibit will end with a Closing Reception on July 12 from 2:00-4:00pm.  The artists will be at Fivesparks for 2 ‘Meet & Greet’ sessions:  \nJudith Stein & Susan Aeschbach on Friday\, June 13\, 2025\, and Margo Ezekiel and Cathie Brenner on Wednesday\, June 25\, 2025.
