5:20 - 5:30 PM - While I get the snacks set up and ready to go, I'll have us start with some introductions!
5:30 - 5:45 PM - We can munch on some snacks together and talk about plein air sketching, share tips and advice when sketching live animals.
5:45 - 6:30 PM - Let loose! Go sketch some birds, wander the park, just enjoy the evening vibes! You can pair up with people if you'd like, or wander alone!
6:30 PM -- Meet back at our 'base camp'!!
6:30 - 7:00 PM - Share what we made and talk about how the process was for us!

* Our event officially ends at 7 PM, but the aviary stays open until 8 so feel free to keep sketching and hanging out together or just enjoy the birds and appreciate the great job the aviary does with their conservation efforts!

Please pay the $7 fee in advance so I know how much food to buy for the event and can compile an accurate guest list!
