On Wednesday, July 19, 2023 from 5:30-7:30 pm, the Hoosic River Revival (HRR) is hosting a Plein-air Watercolor Painting Workshop with local artist Corry Buckwalter at the River Street Community Garden alongside the Hoosic River in North Adams (across River Street from The Porches Inn).

The event will include a demonstration, instruction and feedback from Buckwalter in a setting that takes in the natural beauty of the Hoosic River and the surrounding area, and will end with a reception that will include group sharing of paintings. Both novice and experienced painters of all ages are welcome to participate!
