Equipped with the artistic tools and a little imagination, artists young and old can set out on the grounds to paint their own maritime scene. The Museum's colorful gardens, tall ships, historic buildings and scenic waterfront provide wonderful inspiration and a terrific backdrop for painters of all ages and skill levels.
Art Supplies are picked up and returned to the Art Spot (Map # 57). Cost is just $5 per person to rent each kit of art supplies payable at the Art Spot.
When your masterpiece has been created, supplies are returned to Art Spot, but your masterpiece is yours to keep!
