Capturing the Beauty of Open Land – Paint Out and Art Exhibit

Presented by Douglas Land Conservancy, this plein air painting event invites artists to paint on beautiful, private conserved properties in southern Douglas County, Colorado that are rarely open to the public. Artists will have the opportunity to paint on location for a week, followed by a VIP art sale and reception in downtown Castle Rock, Colorado. Volunteers will be available on site throughout the event to provide information and directions to the painting locations.

The event is open to all artists painting in plein air. Subject matter must reflect the conserved lands. All work must be wired and ready to hang. Artists may submit up to five images for jurying that are representative of their typical work. Submissions should include a brief biography describing your work, awards, shows participated in, galleries featuring your work, price range, and website.
