About the Park
NCMA Park Map

Come join us for a relaxed day of painting in the fresh air! We'll be gathering outdoors to enjoy nature and create art together.

🖌️ Please bring your own art supplies — whatever you love to use!
👩‍🎨 No formal instruction will be provided, just an open space to create, share, and connect with fellow artists at your own pace.

Whether you're experienced or just starting out, everyone's welcome. Let's enjoy some creative time under the sky!

Let's meet at the Ellipse. Not the three big rings, but the oval grassy area where Jazzercise and yoga take place. There is a nice overview of the park from that spot. There are tables and chairs along the outer edge. The Visitor's Center is nearby with snacks and public restrooms. For more information about the park and a map click on the links above.

Tips

• Wear comfortable clothing for the weather and supportive shoes for walking on uneven terrain.
• Bring a hat, sunscreen, and bug spray.
• Bring water and any other beverages or snacks you may want.
• If you don't have an easel or don't prefer standing, bring a folding chair/stool or picnic blanket.
• Make sure you're able to carry your supplies for short to medium distances, depending on your preferred painting location.
• Be aware of your surroundings and the weather. Watch out for uneven terrain and signs of heat exhaustion. Hike at your own risk. Stay hydrated.
• Leave the area as you found it or better. Bring any trash out with you.
