Pick Up a Paintbrush and Join “Painting with Parks” Virtual Class

Citrus County Parks and Recreation has been getting creative since COVID-19 temporarily modified our programming. That creativity has spurred the growth of virtual evening programs.

Parks already offers a Free Virtual Trivia Night for adults on the first and third Mondays of the month, as well as a Virtual Open Mic Night to showcase local Citrus County talent on the final Wednesday of each month.

Now, we’re offering a virtual adult painting class called “Painting With Parks”. For a $15 registration fee per class, citizens can receive access to the session which includes an art kit complete with 6 paintbrushes, three canvases, and paint. The 2-hour class features an instructor and an art camera which points at her table so students can follow along step-by-step and stroke by stroke to create their own work of art.

“Painting with Parks” happens at 6:30 pm on each second Wednesday of the month from now until the end of the year. Jump in for one class or sign for them all! Upcoming dates:
October 14
November 11
December 9

“After hosting a virtual art camp this summer for preteens, we knew we could offer an art class for adults who would enjoy relaxing while creating a masterpiece with a little online assistance,” said Recreation Program Specialist Andrea Cuccaro. “So far, everyone is having a good time participating in this new program,” she added.
