Art Walks and Tours

The Williamson County Art Guild is hosting a paint out for the Art Stroll festival, and they have invited us to participate! Come out and paint anywhere on or around the square in downtown Georgetown from 4-7 p.m. At 7:00, meet up at the Art Guild Gallery located at 708 S. Rock St., Georgetown for an informal showing to see what everyone has created! There will be art shows, vendors, live music, demonstrations and so much more happening in Georgetown during this event. I hope to see you there!

Come join us as we paint with friends from the Williamson County Art Guild and @Pleinair Round Rock for the Georgetown Art Stroll Festival! Just show up with your art supplies and paint with us on April 17th from 4 to 7 p.m., then meet up at the Art Guild Gallery located at 708 S. Rock St., Georgetown for an informal "throw down" to see what everyone has created!

Explore Gtown Cultural district with live music, artist demos, performances, history exhibits, tours & shopping. Pick up your stroll Passport at one of the 2 check-in locations & enjoy live music by Swing Shift & other local musicians during your stroll. eventbrite.com

Let's eat and talk shop. If you do other hand textile crafts such as knitting or crouching, please feel free to bring your work I should be pretty easy to find. My hair is dyed blue, and I will be working on my current embroidery project. I will also bring name tags and markers.

**Come out and enjoy live music, food, and fun at Lakeline Park! Bring your lawn chair or share a blanket and relax by the lake while enjoying free live entertainment and conversation.** **Deets from parks and rec:** **There will be food and beverage trucks available starting at 6:30, and the concert starts at 7. There will also be yard games, bubbles and other “kids” activities (that I may or may not also enjoy) and there are some other things as well. Feel free to bring your outdoor activity of choice as appropriate. (I brought my “big” camera last time.)** **Dog friendly, inclusive activity.** **I will attempt to arrive by 6 to pick a group spot (likely farther from the stage). I like the bubbles so so will probably be near the bubble station. 😁 Feel free to come and go as necessary. I will hopefully remember to bring both of my picnic blankets which I am happy to share. I recommend bringing your lawn chair if you have one!** **I usually park on the side by the kayaks, but it is more of a walk from there.** **This is the second of Live @ Lakeline 2026 concerts and this week is** **the band** [Capitol](https://thecapitoljam.com) **.**

**UPDATE + info about the walk** Check here for updates in the event of potential bad weather, or if I have to cancel due to a personal issue. Basically, if it's not snowing, raining heavily and without lightening/thunder, we're probably still on. But always make your choice based on your needs and preferences. * It's great to RSVP so we know if you may be on your way. **Peaceful, healing, mostly silent walk in Walnut Creek Park near Parmer and N Lamar.** The opportunity is to slow down and connect with the generous residents of this amazing forest, and discover greater kindness, space and open curiosity within. **\* Current schedule** is 7AM Tuesdays and Saturdays. Check this page for cancellations.
I don’t create separate events currently as that’s too expensive. **\* Meet at Walnut Creek Park, 12138 N. Lamar Blvd · Austin,** on the paved trailhead off the first parking lot as your driving into the park from Parmer on Willow Wild. **\* Look for me:** I'm 5'7", have glasses, often carry a wooden cane, and have white hair that's either being its wild self or pulled up/back in some sort of twist. **\* Inclement weather policy:** If the forecast includes active or likely lightening or heavy downpour, then stay safe at home. I'll update this page in those instances. **\* All levels of walkers are welcome.** The pace tends towards easy rather than speedy, and always accommodates whoever joins and the energy of the moment. **\* Mobility:** We spend most of our time on paved trails, and occasionally walk on generally smooth dirt trails. If you use a walker or need to bring a stroller, bring it on! We'll happily make it work. These walks are free, and I very much appreciate contributions if you feel so moved. Zelle 3233213061 Venmo @lvp-432; last4 3061 Binoculars, sketchbooks and cameras are welcome. Stopping for photos or to make a note on my phone is just part of it, for me. As is the energy healing that just flows in forests. Additionally as a Reiki practitioner, I'm in constant energy exchange with the forest throughout our walks. This healing energy is available to any who want it, and you can internally choose to accept that energy, or not. \* Over time, I'll be adding related reading suggestions and other supporting information of interest about Reiki, forests and how they communicate, how the terpenes help our human bodies, etc. **Indemnity and Hold Harmless Notification** As a participant, you agree that, by participating in these walks, it is assumed that you have read and agreed de facto to the following: \* Reiki is not a medical treatment, and cannot replace any medical treatment or my doctor's recommendations. \* You are fully responsible for your own well-being and indemnify and hold harmless the event organizer and other group members. \* Minors must be accompanied by a responsible adult who assumes full responsibility for the minor and also indemnifies and holds harmless the event organizer and other group members. \* Unaccompanied minors will not be allowed to participate in these events. Valid ID may be required as proof of age. \* You understand that this is an outdoors event, and as a participant you may experience exertion and environmental factors such as heat, rain, wind, cold, etc. You may also encounter uneven surfaces, wasps, ants, low-hanging branches, animals including dogs owned by other walkers not part of our group, and other hazards. By participating in the event, you accept these and other risks consistent with the setting and environment and thereby indemnify and hold the event organizer and other participants harmless. \* You understand that, by participating, it is assumed that you have read and agreed to these Indemnification and Hold Harmless clauses. P.S. Right now we meet only at Walnut Creek Park, the Lamar/Parmer trailheads. If you have suggestions of other Austin-area parks to enjoy and support, let the organizer know.

One of our favorite events is the Preservation Austin Historic Homes tour. Some years the houses are clustered in one area and it is possible to walk to them as a group, but this year they are located citywide, so we are just posting this for your information. (**No need to sign up**.) The tour will run from 10-5 on both Saturday and Sunday April 18-19. There will be five homes open to tour on Saturday, and 5 different homes will be open on Sunday. Some of these amazing homes are in the Austin neighborhoods we often walk in. **Purchase tickets online using the link below. Advance Early Bird tickets available through March 31 are $35 for Preservation Austin members/$45 non-members. Advance tickets after 3/31 are $40 for members and $50 for non-members**. Tickets are good for both days (no one day tickets). **Tickets purchased the day of the tour will be $55**. The list of homes and the map of the tour will be published on the website a few days before the tour. The web site also includes information on volunteer opportunities. https://www.preservationaustin.org/events/2026-homes-tour

Join us for a peaceful morning walk around beautiful Lake Pflugerville — one of Austin's most scenic spots just a short drive from the city. This is one of our favorite routes: flat, shaded in stretches, and just the right length for good conversation and a natural reset. Whether you're a regular or joining us for the first time, you'll find easy company and a warm pace. Here's what to expect: **The Trail:** It's a 2.9-mile loop with only about 42 feet of elevation gain — essentially flat the whole way. The surface starts as concrete near the main entrance and transitions to decomposed granite, making it easy for walkers of all paces. **Sun Exposure** The trail has lot's of sun exposure, so sunscreen and a hat is recommended. **The Vibe:** It's a wide, well-maintained path shared by walkers, runners, cyclists, and dog lovers. All paces welcome. We walk, we talk, we breathe fresh air. Come as you are. 📍 18216 Weiss Ln, Pflugerville, TX 78660 🥾 Meet at the large pavillion just across from the main parking lot 💧 Bring a water bottle if desired 👟 Sturdy sneakers recommended By submitting your RSVP to one of our walks, you are agreeing that you have read and understand the [Release of Liability.](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zbJd9vBdM-kNFoVQaL5_nOssZhafCL1MY6IuFRR3DJE/edit?usp=sharing)

Casual open play pickleball for all levels, including beginners. Equipment: You will need to purchase a paddle, or you can rent one from the front desk. We play with “outdoor” balls. Usually our group has some but it’s a good idea to bring them just in case. I highly recommend wearing a good quality court shoe and comfortable athletic wear. Players **Must*** use this link to register. https://apexpbclubs.podplay.app/community/events/caacc51d-b16c-462c-b6c5-efff1a04a72f Spots are limited so sign up early. Cost is $12 per person ($10.80 for Apex members). Apex is an indoor facility with a pro shop and restaurant/bar on site. You do not need to be a member to play. The purpose of this group is to enjoy the game and introduce new people to the pickleball community. By signing up you agree to be willing to play with people who are at different skill and experience levels, and show kindness and respect to all players at all times.

Welcome to the Art School - 20's & 30's artists Meetup group! This is a community for young artists who are passionate about exploring different mediums and techniques in the world of art. Whether you're a painter, sculptor, photographer, or mixed media artist, this group is the perfect place to connect with like-minded individuals, have a space to work on your craft, and showcase your work. Let's inspire and support each other on our artistic journeys! Whether you're a novice or a seasoned artist, all skill levels are welcome. Join us and unleash your creativity! Afterwards, we will have time to work on our individual art projects, hang out, and if anyone is interested in feedback on their work, there will be time for that as well.

We'll meet at Wyandot Park, cross Riverside Dr at Lane Rd, then walk south along the water to Griggs Park and back — around 5 miles total. A scenic out-and-back route along the Scioto River. One of the nicer stretches of trail in Columbus. Parking is available at Wyandot Park, off Lane Rd. Here's an overview of the route on Google Maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/uqweEoi6vcpY4esTA See you there.

AI is changing how art is made. But when does it stop being your work and start being the machine’s? This month we're going to be doing a panel with with digital image, music, and written word artists, talking about at what point, while using AI in the creation process, does the work become not the artist creation? We encourage audience participation during this event that will be moderated by Chris Slee. Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.

[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations. If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!). **HOW IT WORKS** **Step 1: Bring a topic** Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event. **Step 2: Circle up & share** We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds. **Step 3: Walk, talk & float** We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!" **Step 4: Feel more alive** Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times. *For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)* **HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC** A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about. Recent topics include: * "What are you passionate about right now?" * "What makes a good friend?" * "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?" * "How do you want to be remembered?" * "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?" Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter. **WHAT TO EXPECT** This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.* But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here. **FAQ** * Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk! * We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space. * We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space. * Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know. * Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic! **LOGISTICS** * If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event. * This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs. * Read our [Orientation Guide](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation) for full details. * If you enjoy the event, send **[this](http://www.theboardwalks.com/)** to a friend or sign up for our **[newsletter](https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/)**. We're in multiple cities with more on the way. 🤠👋 **IF YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER...** [The Board](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board) is the next step: a high-trust collective for renaissance people devoted to creating, connecting, and building lives that light us up. * This is a global HQ for people who crave big talk, deep connection, and dream collaborations with people across industries. If the walks feel like a spark... The Board is the fire. Apply [here](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board).

The tours *cost $10/person* and we ask that you *arrive 10 minutes prior* to the start of the tour. **3pm PRETOUR**: We'll grab a bite to eat there. **4:30pm TOUR** **5:30pm POST TOUR**: We'll try a drink made with your favorite spirit you tasted on tour. **PARKING**: Street parking and Ohio Power Tool parking lot nearby. **[High Bank Distillery](https://www.highbankco.com/)** is your destination for great food, cold drinks, and fun times in Columbus, OH. We pride ourselves in the quality and flavors of our spirits, distilled and prepared in house, and perfect for any occasion. Pair our creative cocktails with some traditional pub food, and you have the recipe for a perfect night out.
