All levels of ability and all modalities of creation are invited. There is no formal instruction. WE LEARN from one another as WE INSPIRE one another…Intense learning is on the last Wednesday of the month at our (optional) Critique of work.
Our goal is to document the beauty and changes of Marco Island and surrounding areas and to create paintings that honor our subject and nourish the view.
Only 2 rules: :
#1 respect the concentration of working artists
#2 leave the location clean
SUGGESTION: JOIN THE ART LEAGUE OF MARCO ISLAND..IT IS A GREAT BENEFIT FOR ALL.
Arrive any time( unless specified on the schedule) leave when you want
Optional preparation: supplies, drink, snack, camera, trash bag, sun protection.
low volumn music if you like etc
Residents get your free public parking sticker for the season. It saves entry fees for Tigertail, Southbeach parking and for Naples beaches.

21 The Otter Mound Preserve On the Rock: a glimpse into Marco’s One theory states
that the terrace walls once reached all the way to the Ideal Fish Camp (situated on
and accessible to Caxambas pass) and was a sluiceway for tidal waters to bring fish
into the Caxambas community. Another claim is that Otter only rebuilt Native
American fish trap canals that had been abandoned for centuries. Another notion is
steadfast in believing that the shell wall terraces were functional in holding Marco’s
sandy loam in place for Mr. Otter’s vegetable and flower gardens.
