PAINTING with BATS
🦇✨Get ready for a creative adventure like no other! Join us at Lubee Bat Conservancy for a painting party and a private behind-the-scenes tour to meet some of the world’s most incredible giant fruit bats—up close and personal! 🦇✨
Local artist Samm Wehman Epstein of Samm Wehman Art will guide you in painting your favorite pet, animal, or (of course) the beautiful bat!
What to expect:
🎨 The Painting Party (3 hours)
Create your very own masterpiece! Samm will pre-sketch your chosen animal on canvas and guide you step-by-step as you bring it to life.
All art supplies provided by Samm, so just bring yourself and your creative energy! FYI: The bats won’t be hanging out while you paint in the Education Center, but trust us— our Batcasos will be waiting for you. Creating their very own works of art!
🦇 The Bat Meet & Greet (Tour Time!)
After you finish your painting, go behind the scenes with one of Lubee’s bat experts for an unforgettable encounter with these fabulous animals.
