Hop on your bike for this guided ride full of fun facts, followed by an en plein air (outdoor) painting lesson with a professional artist.

Ride

Kick off the journey near the serene Wendigo Pond in High Park. From there, enjoy a relaxed, 13km guided ride through some of the west end's most picturesque trails, making our way toward the lakeshore and into the lush Humber River valley. Along the way, your charismatic guide will pause the ride to share engaging, little-known facts about the area. The pace is casual, making it an enjoyable cruise for cyclists of all backgrounds.

Paint

Our cycling route culminates at a stunning, historic location along the Humber River, where we will trade our handlebars for paintbrushes. Set up at your easel for an en plein air (outdoor) painting session led by a professional artist. You will receive expert, personalized tips on brush technique, color choices, and composition. Whether you are a total novice holding a brush for the first time or an experienced artist looking to refine your outdoor painting skills, you will find inspiration and guidance. At the end, you will take home your beautiful painting.
