Artists paint en plein air on Chincoteague and Assateague September 4 through 11
Registration is limited to the first 50 artists who sign up on June 1st, beginning at 1 pm.

Each year, the 2nd week of September brings more than 50 fine artists from the Mid-Atlantic and beyond to paint en plein air (French for painting outdoors) on Chincoteague and Assateague Islands. On Saturday evening, their work is displayed for sale at a show that is free to the public. Everyone is welcome! Come early; pieces sell quickly! A portion of the artwork sales goes to help the CCA promote the arts on the island.

Plus, Quick Draw Contest, Thursday, September 10 - Open to all Artists - Registration fee is $5.
Artists will be painting in and around Robert Reed Park from 1-3 pm. It's a great opportunity to watch how different artists interpret the same scenes.  Paintings will be judged at 3 pm and after prizes are awarded, they will be available for sale until 4 pm. Artists who are not registered for the entire Plein Air event are welcome to participate - just show up at 12:30 pm.

COVID-19 PRECAUTIONS
At this time, we plan to require masks indoors as required by local Covid restrictions. This may change by September.
A cash bar will be on an outside patio where free canapés will be served and masking will be optional.
