Paint Sausalito: The First Annual Plein Air Show and Paint Out


  • Sausalito Center for the Arts 750 Bridgeway Sausalito, CA, 94965 United States (map)

Join us as we paint Sausalito, August 17 through September 10!

Fifteen renowned Plein Air artists will exhibit their existing work and participate in two live Wet Paint Days throughout downtown Sausalito.

Artists will capture the unique charm of the Sausalito waterfront, parks and downtown area, and stunning views of San Francisco. The public can stroll through Sausalito to watch these talented artists creating a sense of place in this legendary town, right before your eyes.

The Plein Air exhibition features each artist’s unique plein air style, responding to shifting light, cloud patterns, and the challenges of painting out of doors.

After each Wet Paint Day, art lovers are invited to the Center for the Afternoon Showcase from 4:00-6:00, to be the first to see the new creations.

Awards in multiple artistic categories will be presented Saturday, August 26 from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM .
