Calling all artists — leave the four walls of the studio behind and experience the freedom of making art in a powerfully expansive setting. This plein-air painting opportunity is presented by the Arts Council in partnership with the Princeton Battlefield Society.
During this special Paint Out held in celebration of the 250th anniversary of our nation’s founding, we invite artists of all skill levels to capture the grounds of the Princeton Battlefield State Park on their canvas.
Just minutes from downtown Princeton, this historic battlefield allows you to walk in the footsteps of Washington, Alexander Hamilton, and General Hugh Mercer, and explore the legacy of the Battle of Princeton.
The artist with the piece deemed Best in Show will be awarded a solo exhibition in the Arts Council’s Siegal Gallery. First runner up will receive a cash prize of $100, and second runner up will be awarded $50.
How it works:
- Artists are responsible for providing all set-up and supplies needed to create their piece.
- Artists will work from 9am to 4pm before displaying their work in an open-air exhibition, free and open to the public. Invite your friends and family to enjoy strolling from easel to easel.
- Works may be available for sale. ACP will receive a 25% commission from any artwork sold.
- Participants should dress comfortably and, if necessary, plan for weather by bringing sunscreen, sun hats, etc. Bring plenty of water and snacks, if desired.
- In the event of rain, the Paint Out will be canceled. Please stay tuned to the email you used to register for any important messages from the organizers.
