Mill Creek MetroParks presents Painted Memories showcasing work from local artist Beth Basista. This exhibit will feature more than 40 colorful paintings in oils, acrylics and watercolors most capturing the essence of landscapes found throughout Mill Creek Parks’ 2,658 acres. “I hope my works inspire others to enjoy this gem of a park, nestled within the city of Youngstown, and to appreciate those who have preserved its natural beauty for us, like founder Volney Rogers, and all who have followed his mission to protect this incredible space,” says artist Basista.
Shell Art florals and shell art paintings will be displayed in the entranceway to The Weller Gallery. Basista‘s unique shell art paintings start with an acrylics or watercolor painting of under-the-sea, beach, or sunset painted on a canvas board. Next, she creates fish, turtles, dogs, a seahorse or “Beach gals” out of shells and attaches them to her painting, followed by an occasional epoxy finish.
This free exhibit will be on display September 1 through October 16, 2024, within the Weller Gallery inside the Davis Center at Fellows Riverside Gardens, during normal operating hours of Tuesdays – Sundays, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m., closed Mondays. A Meet the Artist session will take place on Sunday, September 15, 2024 from 12:00 Noon – 2:00 p.m. in the Weller Gallery at Fellows Riverside Gardens.
In addition to over 50 originals available for sale, prints will be available for purchase at the Shop in the Gardens inside the Davis Center at Fellows Riverside Gardens.

If you’re looking to give boulder climbing a try, Mill Creek MetroParks will soon have more opportunities for you to do so.
Climbing boulders is currently permitted at the Wick Recreation Area on Bears Den Road and New Cross Drive, and a new expansion project will be located right across the street.
The new space will double the amount of approved climbing area within the park.
Mill Creek MetroParks Executive Director Aaron Young expects the new area to open by the end of the year.
The MetroParks website recommends helmets and bouldering pads for safety.
