Join us on the beach for a calming, beginner-friendly acrylic painting workshop where artist Pat Conlon will guide participants in creating a beautiful 8x10 fall-inspired acrylic painting.

Then settle into the sand for a live sound bath with queer artist X. ARI, designed to help you relax, reset and soak in the ocean vibes as the sun sets.
