Get rare access to paint at Brinton’s Mill, the former Chadds Ford residence of Betsy and Andrew Wyeth for more than four decades, which was transformed by Betsy’s subtle design.

Artists working in pencil, watercolor, photography, and other quick media are invited to explore and capture this iconic setting. An educator will be available to give a short tour of the property and provide insight into Wyeth’s creative process.

Important Information Before You Book:

  • Participants will meet at the Brandywine Museum of Art. No parking is allowed at the Brinton’s Mill property, so participants will board a shuttle with their art supplies.
  • There are no public restrooms or water access available at the site. Participants may use the museum facilities before and after the program.
  • There is limited shade at Brinton’s Mill. Participants are encouraged to bring bottled water and sun protection.
  • Participants are responsible for providing all their own art materials.

If you have any additional questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to Educator of Adult & Community Programs, Bailey Gamberg, at [email protected] or (610) 388-8120.
