Update September 2010:  This program has been a tremendous success!  Over 50 artists have already signed up to be a part of this program and painters can be seen working on the campus almost every day.  Our peak foliage season is just around the corner and there is still time to take advantage of this beautiful spot.    Several questions have come up and we try to address them all in this Frequently Asked Questions page.  Still have questions?  Email us at education@fruitlands.org.  Thanks!

*Membership includes two passes for unlimited free admission to the museum and many other perks.  Check our membership page for more information.
