Come celebrate Earth Day and explore your creativity at the Leonardtown Wharf. Enjoy live music performed by the GrooveSpan Trio (hosted by Jimmy Hayden of RE-MAX 100 and Homes for Heroes) while you capture the beauty of Breton Bay (a wonderful site any time of day, but the sunsets are truly spectacular!).

Bring your own supplies and paint with other artists/art enthusiasts. Artist Carrie Patterson will be on site teaching a Plein Air Art Class. While the class is full, Carrie will have some tabletop easels and supplies on hand for anyone who would like to join in on the fun. You can also take part in a community mural project hosted by Artist Adrianna Reloba (sponsored by the St. Mary's County Arts Council) and enjoy organic, tasty food, award-winning wine and delicious sweet treats during this special evening.
