Carmel on Canvas

The Open-Air Painting Exhibition and Competition takes place on the sidewalks throughout the Carmel Arts and Design District, Carmel's Midtown, the City Hall Japanese Gardens, Carmel City Center, and Carmel Central Park, with its 161 acres of beautiful green space. The Carmel on Canvas Planar event hosts 60 highly acclaimed artists from around the Midwest, including Kentucky, Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, and many Indiana communities. The artists compete in a variety of planar contests within the two-day event. They will register in a division that matches their skill level: professional, non-professional, or teen and child.
