Painting in the Shade
Plein Air

Over the course of 3 days, artists freely selected their subjects from the numerous visual opportunities the area presents, and then painted on-site. This year Quincy joined Havana to extend the artistic boundaries of the event, providing new locations and opportunities to paint. Highlighting the beauty and history of North Florida, artists painted in Quincy on May 16th and in Havana on May 17th & 18th.

​

Artists were tasked with painting at least one new work a day and provided three previously completed works. All of the artwork was displayed at a gallery, which was open during the extent of the event. In addition, the artwork was available for purchase: the previously completed works was available for immediate purchase while the works completed during the event was available for purchase starting at the Closing Gala.

​

The Saturday evening Closing Gala at Havana Springs Resort celebrated this wonderful event and all the amazing art created by the artists! The artwork painted throughout the three days was presented and available for purchase. Guests mingled with the artists and enjoyed catered heavy hors d'oeuvres, music and great company!
