Art in the Open: Nature Walk & Artist Talk

Designed as a slower, immersive encounter with art and landscape, this program invites participants to engage contemporary art through guided exploration of Cleveland's park system.

Each session begins with a nature walk led by Cleveland Metroparks staff at Garfield Park Reservation, offering participating guests time to observe ecological systems, seasonal change, and the sensory qualities of the landscape. The walk will be followed by an artist talk and hands-on activities led by moCa's Ohio Now: State of Nature exhibiting artist, Charmaine Spencer. These workshops are free and family-friendly, with the goal to create space for reflection, dialogue, and making a direct relationship to the environment.
