The Door County Plein Air Festival, presented by Peninsula School of Art, celebrates the tradition of outdoor painting with some of the finest painters from Door County and across the country. More than 35 artists will put brush to canvas, capturing the summer light over the waters and fields of Door County, July 22-28. Painting from life and the landscape has long been a Door County tradition, and one that has endured evolving styles.

Listen and learn from daily artist demonstrations. Tour local partner galleries as artists paint on site. Relax with great music and food at the sunset concert and paint out. View presentations by the festival judge, award-winning artists and knowledgeable collectors. View fresh paintings at the Collector’s Preview Gala Auction. The exhibition and sale is July 28 – Aug. 11. For a full list of events visit peninsulaschoolofart.org/events/dcpaf.
