Dozens of plein air (outdoors) artists will set up their easels in scenic venues all across Arizona on Saturday, April 5, 2025!
I’ll be the ambassador at the Grand Canyon South Rim near the Kolb Studio. Join me and others as we celebrate the plein air art community and share our work. All levels of skill and mediums are welcome.
Come and paint, watch the action and buy some fresh artwork!

Paint Arizona Day is a unique celebration of art, nature, and community held annually in Arizona. The event encourages artists of all levels to embrace the beauty of the state by painting outdoors (plein air). Participants can choose to paint independently in their backyards or join official painting locations guided by master artists. These designated locations showcase the diverse landscapes of Arizona, from the majestic mountains to the vibrant deserts.
Beyond individual artistic expression, Paint Arizona Day fosters a strong sense of community. Artists connect through online platforms and participate in a culminating juried gallery show, where their work is exhibited and celebrated. This event not only promotes the art of plein air painting and highlights the natural wonders of Arizona but also strengthens the artistic community within the state.
