It is an invitation to wander, notice, and experience the trails in a new way. Participants will meander through the woods, pausing to gather inspiration and create art along the way.

The nominal $10 registration fee (free for 2026 Sassquad Members!) covers a wide range of materials that will be provided, including acrylic paints, brushes, canvas paper, wood disks, charcoal, sketchbooks, pens, markers, pencils, glue, and even old race bibs to incorporate into your work.Whether you prefer to stop and create, draw as you walk, or assemble something unexpected, there is no right way to participate. Please pre-register for this squatchy event!
