DISCOUNTED Early Bird ARTIST REGISTRATIONS CLOSE 31 JULY.  ALL SKILL LEVELS, ALL MEDIUMS, ALL AGES.

    Something new, unique and uplifting is capturing the community’s imagination.
    Since the days of the impressionists, artists have enjoyed the experience of painting outdoors. It is one of the true joys of being a painter.
    Not only are we at one with nature, but there is also the camaraderie when two or more paint on location.
