About the Event

Join the Autry for a day of live painting, lunch, and some incredible American Classic cars. Enjoy a cocktail as you explore the artist loop around Franklin Canyon Lake. Meet artists from The Autry’s Masters of the American West exhibition and the California Art Club as they paint  “plein air” and capture the unique outdoor setting followed by a casual lunch and artist showcase in the Nature Center.

Classic American cars will also be stationed along the loop for viewing and painting. Finished works will be available for purchase at the end of the event. Lunch and beer/wine will be provided.
