2024 Wet Paint Padanaram Plein Air

from $40.00

The 6th Annual Wet Paint Padanaram Plein Air event is back! Join us as we paint the scenic beauty of the Village, Harbor, and surrounding coastline. Voted the best of the Best Harbor in the United States, usharbors.com, in 2020 and 2022. We will once again gather at designated public access locations along with the quaint vistas of this coastal village and beyond. Originally designed to promote climate change and its effect on our coastal areas, our mission continues. This is a public event and a part of our mission is to bring attention to the fragile nature of the coastline. We would like you to enjoy the natural beauty while being visible to foot and vehicle traffic. More details on this will be provided to registered artists! Once you have registered we will feature your work on our social media pages for the weeks leading up to the event. This is a great way to get your talent shared, sell your artwork, and win a prize. Our juror this year is renowned artist and professor Amy Araujo. Artist registration closes Monday, September 10, 2024.
