More than two dozen members of Plein Air Painters of the Southeast descend on charming Thomasville, GA, to paint outdoors three private plantations, red clay canopy roads, and historical towns of the Georgia-Florida border.
BUY daily work at Studio 209 Wet Room; TALK to professional artists painting on Broad St; WATCH artists at work: Boxhall and Milestone Plantations; TAKE a landscaping class and paint at Mayhaw Plantation; BRING home a masterpiece from the Ocober 8 Grand Sale at Thomasville Center for the Arts.
This unprecedented event is a unique opportunity to witness firsthand the splendor of private, southern plantations in the crisp autumn. As an interested member of the arts community, you are welcome and encouraged to take workshops from award-winning artists, view demos, witness street painting, and attend social events where you can really get to know these professionals and how they effortlessly capture landscape in all its forms. If you've considered commissioning an artist to paint your home, dog, family member, or specific location now's the time to ask!
