Artists will then head to the historic Glenbow Ranch Park Foundation (GRPF) to set up for some inspiring plein air painting. GRPF golf carts will be assisting with shuttling artists and their materials around the park. **Artists must register for a time slot online to use the golf cart service; a golf cart sign-up link will be shared with registered artists. **
The GRPF tourist center will be open, but it is advisable to bring a packed lunch and water bottles as there are no other food services on site.
