EXCLUSIVE: Paint with the Animals |
 Create one-of-a-kind artwork by collaborating with our very own animal artists-in-residence (such as the wolf who created the work at right).
This new premium program is the first of its kind in the country and is open by reservation only. The minimum age to participate is 6 years old, and families are encouraged to paint together. The $100 fee is per canvas. So, if an individual wants to participate, the cost is $100. If a couple wants to paint together, the cost is $100 (for one shared canvas). A family of up to six people can also participate and share one canvas for $100.
We will hold this activity on Feb. 21-23 at noon, and six canvases will be available each of the three days. Please call 203-394-6563 for details and pre-registration (required).
