Paint Menokin

The Menokin Foundation and JART, Inc.  invite you to join us for Paint Menokin, a multi-day Plein Air painting party set within Menokin's 500 acres of historic landscape. 

The event promises painters three days of artistic inspiration from Menokin’s historic ruin, Remembrance Structure, cultivated fields, and still-wild woods and waterway.
