Who are those people in the paintings on the walls, and what messages are hidden in those paintings? Come meet a few of the characters in the Arkell Museum's portrait paintings, including "Anne," "Moira," "Juan Reyes," "The Player," and even "Bartlett Arkell" himself. Then we'll head on down to the classroom, and everyone will have the chance to create their own portrait!

Experience the touch, smell, sight, and sound sensations of painting with pine trees!
