Let’s paint during the Fleurs de Villes flower festival at Van Dusen Gardens!

Introduction
Fleurs de Villes, WONDER*, a fresh floral celebration of the awe-inspiring natural wonders of our world.*
On display from May 22 - 31, stroll through the garden and discover over 20 exquisite floral mannequins and installations inspired by nature’s most extraordinary marvels, from iconic natural landmarks and diverse ecosystems to rare botanical treasures and dazzling natural phenomena. Created by talented local floral artists.

Where to meet
Let’s meet at 1 pm in front of the fountain near the statue of two lovers on a bench, entitled "Departure" -see cover photo.

The Fleurs de Villes exhibit is included in the entrance fee, free for members. VanDusen Summer Fees: Adult $15.81, Senior $12.65, Annual Membership $55

What we do
We meet, then go our own way to paint and come together again at 4 PM at the meeting point to share our work. If you happen to arrive late, just join any of us or meet us at the meeting point at 4 PM.

Bring any art medium you prefer. All levels of experience are welcome. Bring a folding chair or stool if you wish to paint closeups as many of the benches look out over fields.
