Come and paint the diverse beauty of Baker County, Oregon with its glorious mountain ranges, forests, lakes, and cattle ranches. Sagebrush hills and the Powder River surround our historic town built along the Oregon Trail during the gold rush, providing that niche turn of the 20th century small town charm during the splendor of the autumn season.
Big skyscapes with stunning sunrises and sunsets in the high desert are ripe for artistic interpretation. We have over $4000 in cash prizes, perks, a quickdraw event, a city-wide exhibition, demos, and parties. Baker City is a small town with a big heart and a robust art community ready to make her mark in the plein air art world.
