With an expanded format for painting locations, exhibits, and sales, the majestic tapestry of SWVA is a plein air artist’s dream! This year offers four days of painting with choice of locations, destination specific during a quick paint on final day, and two galleries & sales. Framed by the Appalachian Mountains, Holston River, and the famed Virginia Creeper Trail, this little tucked-away location provides endless inspiration for visiting artists.
