An Evening of Creativity to benefit Baxter Arts Centre

Step back in time and experience the Salon of the 19th century. Behind an unassuming door you’ll find a resplendent speakeasy with models poised for life drawing. Enjoy a glass of wine and take a stroll of the grounds where you can observe or partake in an en plein air demonstration at the famous dry-stone bridge.
