Paint the Park with Chad Elliott

Join Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation as we welcome award-winning artist and musician Chad Elliott to create a plein-air painting of Brenton Slough and perform a nature-inspired concert at the vast wetland and woodland nature area near Grimes. Chad will pick a site and "Paint the Park" early in the day. Then from 5:30-6:30 p.m., he will perform a collection of his signature roots, blues and folk music as the sun sets at Brenton Slough. The property will be open to the public for the concert 5-7 p.m. Admission: There is no admission fee, but all donations will go toward the protection of Brenton Slough. All ages welcome. Suggested donation: $25 per person What to bring: Bring a chair or blanket to sit on and any snacks or drinks you wish to have during the show. This is an outdoor event, so dress for the weather. We suggest long pants and closed-toe shoes. Directions: The entrance for Brenton Slough is just north of 220th St. on Y Ave near Grimes. You can search for Brenton Slough in a map application or use this Google map. There will be signage pointing towards the parking location once you reach the gravel lane of the property, off of Y Avenue. Note that Brenton Slough is not yet open to the public; access to the property is only available during events like these until fundraising is complete.
