What is a Paint Out?

Painting en plein air (in the open air) is a delightful art form. Plein air paintings are valuable works in demand by a wide range of collectors. Our festival will begin on May 7, when the artists arrive and begin to set up their easels outdoors, all over downtown Rehoboth.   The artists may choose any spot within the downtown corporate limits of Rehoboth Beach.  Painting will take place throughout the weekend and there will be plenty of opportunities for tourists and locals to observe the artists at work.   

Approximately 30 artists will be invited into the show. These artists will participate and compete for prize money plus the opportunity to show their work in an exhibit on May 10 the last day of the weekend’s activities. Be on the lookout for plein air artists on The Board walk, at Silver Lake and all around the downtown area.
