Event Description: 
The Umstead Hotel and Spa is pleased to present a special installment in our popular Art + Nature lecture series on July 16th. Join Lynn Boggess, a graduate of Cranbrook Academy of Art and former Professor of Art at Fairmont State University in West Virginia as he discusses painting en plein-aire using a portable shelter. His technique of stylistically applying thick paint with a cement trowel is both unique and visually appealing (images attached). Beginning this July, The Umstead Art Gallery is delighted to unveil works painted on location at the William B. Umstead State Park during Spring 2010 as Boggess stayed in residence at the hotel. The Art + Nature Lecture Series will take place on Friday, July 16th from 5:30-7:30pm. Wine, beer and seasonal appetizers will be served. Space is limited for this unique opportunity and tickets cost $45 per person.
