SOLD OUT!!! Create your own "GREAT" work of art! Join beloved local artist Maria DeSimone Prascak of Maria’s Ideas (mariasIdeas.com) for a creative and colorful painting class where you'll paint your own fine-feathered masterpiece. 

Designed for painters of all ages and abilities, follow Maria's simple, step-by-step instructions to paint a portrait of one of the Aviary's most famous birds: Gus the Great Argus! Before class begins, venture into the Tropical Rainforest habitat to see if you can spot the "model" himself strutting along the walkway or perched near the waterfall.

Brushes & Birds classes are open to participants 8 years and older. Those under 16 must be accompanied by a registered adult. No prior drawing skills necessary; a tracer will be provided!
