Paintouts

Every fall, OPA members come together in their respective states to spend a day painting outdoors during OPA’s Annual Great Paint Out. Members volunteer to coordinate paint outs in their state so that local artists have an opportunity to meet and learn from each other. All members are welcome to attend as many paint outs as they like.

OPA’s goal is to have a paint out in every state, each year. Larger states might have more than one paint out provided they are not on the same weekend and are in different parts of the state.

Requirements to volunteer include enthusiasm, a passion for painting, knowledge of good local places to paint, and some organizational ability. Click here to learn more about how you can volunteer to host a paint out in your area.

Paint outs for 2009 must be scheduled with OPA no later than July 1, 2009 and should take place sometime between September and November.
