Back by popular demand, we're excited to reunite with Artists In Residence In Everglades for a day of total immersion in art and nature. On Saturday, May 3 at 11 AM, we'll meet at the Nest Gallery for AIRIE's spring exhibition and alum talk, curated by Season Seven commissioned artist Cornelius Tulloch, followed by a boxed picnic lunch on the terrace.

At approximately 12:30 PM, departing from the Ernest Coe Visitor Center (Homestead entrance), we'll then head out caravan-style to the Cypress Dome. Here, you'll experience the wonder of a shady submerged forest adorned with ferns, airplants, and owls and wade comfortably through the refreshing waters of the River of Grass.

Accompanied by AIRIE artists and an Everglades National Park Ranger, hear both a scientific and artistic interpretation of this unique landscape.

Guests not interested in the wet walk are welcome to join the exhibition and luncheon portion of the day, and enjoy the Everglades National Park at their own pace.

Guests who sign up for the wet walk will drive 10-15 minutes in their own cars to the Cypress Dome. Proper attire includes long pants and lace up shoes that can get wet. We also suggest bringing a change of clothes and shoes for after the hike. Walking sticks are provided.
