This juried event brings a selection of the country’s top plein air painters to Tequesta, FL to compete for over $15,000 in cash and prizes. The community is invited to witness the creative process firsthand as the artists transform a blank canvas into magnificent works of art that capture picturesque beaches, tropical gardens, and cityscapes of Palm Beach and Martin Counties. The festival includes free artist demonstrations, events, workshops, and fresh art for sale.
