Door County Plein Air Festival

The quaint harbor towns, rolling farmland and pristine sandy beaches of Door County, WI will again become both muse and studio for the 42 plein air master painters participating in the fourth annual Door County Plein Air Festival, July 19-24. Hosted by the Peninsula School of Art in Fish Creek, the festival is the largest outdoor painting event in the Midwest.

Witness a painting created from start-to-finish during several free events, as well as impromptu meetings with artists who are painting throughout the Door County peninsula. Ticketed events bring artists and art enthusiasts together in exclusive social settings.

One of the highlights of the festival is the two-hour Dockside Quick Paint competition, on Saturday, July 24 in Fish Creek's Clark Park. Festival artist’s paintings are completed in less than 2 hours and are auctioned off live at noon. Other artists are invited to compete for a spot in next year's festival in the public portion of the Quick Paint.

From July 24-August 7, festival artists' works will be on display for sale at the Peninsula School of Art, 3900 County Road F, Fish Creek.
