Wildlife Refuge Art Safari

About this event

🦬 Art Safari: Rocky Mountain Arsenal Wildlife Refuge 🌿 Vibe 🦬 Wildlife • Adventure • Plein Air • Exploration • Relaxed ⸻ Grab your sketchbook and join us for an Art Safari through one of Colorado’s most unique hidden gems! Instead of gathering in one location for the entire meetup, we’ll slowly caravan together through the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge, stopping along the scenic Wildlife Drive whenever we find breathtaking landscapes, interesting wildlife, or inspiring places to sketch. Think of it as a creative safari. Every stop offers a new perspective, a new subject, and another page in your sketchbook. We’ll begin by meeting in the Prairie Switchback Trail main parking lot, where everyone can introduce themselves before we head into the refuge as a group. Throughout the morning, we’ll make several short sketch stops, spending 15–20 minutes at each location before continuing on to our next adventure. At the 15-minute mark, I’ll give everyone a friendly heads-up so you can finish your current sketch. At the 20-minute mark, we’ll pack up and continue our Art Safari to the next scenic stop. No pressure to create a finished masterpiece. This meetup is about observation, exploration, and enjoying nature one sketch at a time. Whether you draw with graphite, watercolor, colored pencils, ink, markers, or digital tools, everyone is welcome. ⸻ 📍 Meet Here Prairie Switchback Trail Main Parking Lot Commerce City, CO 80022 We’ll meet here first before beginning our Wildlife Drive caravan. ⸻ 🦬 Our Art Safari Plan • Meet and introductions • Brief overview of the route • Caravan together through the refuge • Stop at scenic overlooks and wildlife viewing areas • Sketch for approximately 15–20 minutes at each location • Continue exploring together throughout the refuge • Optional group share at the end of the adventure ⸻ 🎒 What to Bring • Sketchbook • Portable art supplies • Folding chair or camp chair • Water • Snacks • Hat &…
