Pack a picnic basket, bring your sketch pad, and enjoy watching our CAVA plein air competitors paint and draw the pastoral scenery around the Mayslake Peabody Estate.
The stunning Mayslake Peabody Estate is an Historic Tudor Mansion surrounded by colorful, manicured gardens, ponds, towering trees, grasses, and timeless architecture including the Portiuncula Chapel – a replica of the original in Assisi, Italy – featuring a colorful stone mosaic.
The mansion is also the setting for our current CAVA Exhibition, The Natural World. Enjoy a tour of the mansion, then bring your easel, your brushes, and your vision outdoors to capture nature in its finest form.
