Spring and sunshine have been the artist’s muse for as long as art has existed. From Monet’s water lilies to Van Gogh’s sunflowers, the outdoors enlivens and inspires. At 40 West Arts District we’re making the most of this beautiful change in weather with lots to do, both artistically and otherwise. Join us for one or (fingers-crossed) all of the events below. Take advantage of spring and paint hay while the sun shines!
