Paint for Preservation

This is Maine's premier art auction held at a beautiful seaside location overlooking Zeb Cove in Cape Elizabeth. From July 11th-13th, 30 juried, award-winning plein air artists will paint outdoors at locations chosen to highlight the stunning sea- and landscapes around them, with the resulting artwork auctioned on Sunday, July 13.

This exciting annual event will feature the ever-entertaining auctioneer Kaja Veillieux, light hors d'oeuvres by the Prentice Group, and live music by The STEM Brothers. Smaller paintings by the participating artists are available for purchase as "Mystery Boxes". To learn more and see samples of the artists' work visit www.capelandtrust.org/paint.
