It’s back! The Orange County Arts Commission presents the 7th Annual Paint It Orange Plein Air Paint-Out and Wet Paint Sale October 4-6, 2023. Last year’s Paint it Orange hosted 66 painters from four states, and sold 22 paintings during the Wet Paint Sale! The event celebrates artists of all types and all abilities and combines gorgeous scenery with the opportunity to meet other painters from around the region. Read about last year’s winners here.

Artists are invited to Orange County, North Carolina, to capture the landscapes and landmarks of our beautiful communities of Chapel Hill, Hillsborough, and Carrboro. Participating artists will paint at sites of their choosing (maps are provided) throughout Orange County from October 4-6 and will submit two of their favorite paintings for jurying on Friday, October 6 at the Eno Arts Mill Gallery in Hillsborough.

An awards reception and preview party for artists and sponsors will take place at 5pm, followed by the Wet Paint Sale Party at 6pm, in which the submitted paintings will be available for sale to the general public. Be sure to check out our Paint it Orange Plein Air Workshop with Scott Meyers here.
