Field Guide: A Creative Botanical Exploration with Katya Ross

Refunds are available up to five days before the event. If you can no longer attend, you may also transfer your ticket to someone else. To request a transfer, please contact programming@kansascity.aiga.org.

We’ll have basic sketching, collage, and coloring materials available. We strongly encourage you to bring your favorite supplies, a personal sketchbook, or your kids’ favorite coloring book.

Dress comfortably and for the weather. We’ll start inside the Environmental Education Visitors Center before we head outside to the gardens. Sunscreen, hats, and layers are a great idea. If you plan to sit and draw, maybe bring a small blanket or towel.

Not at all. This event is all about creative play, relaxation, and exploration. Whether you draw daily or haven’t picked up a paintbrush since third grade, you’re welcome.

Yes! Families and children are welcome. We’ll have activities for all ages and a low-pressure, come-as-you-are atmosphere.

We’ll be at the Environmental Education Visitors Center located at 8909 W. 179th Street, Overland Park, KS 66013. A map and directions will be provided on our socials and via email.

Doors open at 9:30 a.m. Katya Ross’s talk will begin shortly after 10 a.m., so we recommend arriving 10–15 minutes early to get settled and meet your fellow field trippers.

We recommend bringing a refillable water bottle and any snacks you or your kids might want. We’ll have Lovely Day Coffee serving their tasty drinks so you can get your caffeine fix before we dive into activities.

We’ve got a rain plan! We’ll notify you of any changes in our plans via email and Instagram (@aigakc).

Tickets are $25 for non-AIGA members, $20 for AIGA members and $10 for children. Tickets include access to the gardens, Katya’s talk, a coffee from Lovely Day coffee, and art supplies you can borrow.

Send us a message on Instagram (@aigakc) or email programming@kansascity.aiga.org. We’re happy to help.
