Chris is a Certified Ross Instructor® at the Bob Ross Experience at Minnetrista Museum & Gardens in Muncie, Indiana.
Chris does the majority of his teaching at the Experience’s painting workshop equipped with video and HD monitors — all in the home where Bob painted for many years! You can feel Bob’s spirit and the location is his favorite location to paint and teach.
Explore the life, philosophy, and art of the iconic American painter inside the historic home where The Joy of Painting was filmed. The immersive exhibit features original paintings and artifacts, inspiring visitors with Bob’s message of fearless creativity.
You can step into the restored television studio and stand where Bob stood, at the iconic easel where he beat the devil out of his brushes.
Upstairs is the beautiful painting workshop, along with even more original Ross artwork, with shows specially curated to highlight a specific theme or aspect of Bob’s work.
