Plein Air International Paint-Out

The 2026 Plein Air International Paint Out offers four days of art and adventure in the North Georgia Mountains. Designated as one of the top five Art Towns in Georgia by the Georgia Council for the Arts, Blue Ridge provides a multitude of opportunities to capture the spirit of plein air. The 2026 event provides a master workshop, a Quick Paint event, a silent auction, and county- wide paint-outs, which culminate in the awards and exhibit on Sunday.
