Fresh Coast Plein Air Painting Festival And Competition

The annual Fresh Coast Plein Air Painting Festival takes place throughout historic and picturesque Marquette, Michigan, and along its magnificent Lake Superior shoreline. Artists can paint Friday night and Saturday all day. Competitors can turn in two paintings, entered into either professional or emerging artist categories. Our public awards reception is held Saturday. Sunday is our “sales and social day,” giving artists and the public the chance to purchase paintings created throughout the weekend.
