Celebrate Spring by learning a fresh perspective on painting flowers! Join us for this beginner workshop, all materials provided. All you need to bring is your creative spirit! We begin by drawing our flowers upside down, making it much easier to draw while offering a completely new way of seeing shapes. Next, we’ll flip the canvas right side up and paint our flowers in shades of black and white to create a really cool, fun painting! Your instructor, Beth Blackwell Cullen, has been painting and drawing for more than 10 years. She enjoys helping new artists develop their confidence using tried and true academic principles in exciting, new ways.

Great cities have great parks. And at the heart of our great city lies the green heart of Atlanta — Piedmont Park. As Atlanta’s beloved public playground, Piedmont Park has been a popular gathering place for residents and visitors since 1887. Today, our great park has an even greater purpose, as an indispensable urban greenspace that brings value to businesses and homeowners and helps to clean the air and cool the city.
The Landmark Luncheon is not only one of our favorite events of the year, but one of our most important. The Piedmont Park Conservancy, a nonprofit organization, raises $5 million annually for the upkeep, beautification and programming of historic Piedmont Park. Many do not realize that the Conservancy relies heavily on philanthropic donations and does not receive funding from the many festivals and events held in the Park.
