plein air paint out event

15th Annual Maritime Art Exhibit Activities

Come and paint the day in Coos Bay!

Plein Air painters are invited to participate in Coos Art Museum's “Plein Air Paint Out” adventure which will be taking place early morning through mid-day on Saturday, July 19, 2008. Participating artists will be located around the Coos Bay area - from the Coos Bay waterfront Boardwalk to the crashing surf of Cape Arago.

Check out the local scenery - and choose your painting location!

Here is a map and images of the various locations around the Coos Bay area for you to review and select as your choice to 'paint the day'.

There is NO registration fee for the “Paint Out”, but CAM would like to keep track of participants and be able to provide adequate guide services for those unfamiliar with the local area.
