5th Annual Wet Paint Padanaram

$50.00

The 5th Annual Wet Paint Padanaram Plein Air event is back! Join us as we paint the scenic beauty of the Village, Harbor, and surrounding coastline. Voted the best of the Best Harbor in the United States, usharbors.com, in 2020 and 2022. We will once again gather at designated public access locations along with the quaint vistas of this coastal village and beyond. Originally designed to promote climate change and its effect on our coastal areas, the 2023 WPP will coincide with our Environmental Lecture Series. This is a public event and a part of our mission is to bring attention to the fragile nature of the coastline. We would like you to enjoy the natural beauty while being visible to foot and vehicle traffic. More details on this will be provided to registered artists! Once you have registered we will feature your work on our social media pages for the weeks leading up to the event. A great way to get your talent shared, sell your artwork and win a prize. Our juror this year is renowned artist and professor David Barnes. Artist registration closes Monday, September 11, 2023.
