Nature Art Classes at Joppa Flats: Make a Friend

Kids will use nature as a muse to express themselves through art at Mass Audubon

Any season is a great time to notice nature's beauty and to make it come to life with amazing works of art! The summer sessions feature nature journaling, underwater scenarios, and nature critters. Move over, Michelangelo - make room for all our Joppa artist superstars!
