Brevard Plein Air Festival

Our 4th annual Plein Air Festival is a four-day,  painting event that takes place in the beautiful mountainous area surrounding the town of Brevard, NC .

The event features en plein air style painting. The French phrase “en plein air,” means in plain air, or outside. It is also tied to the painting method by the same name, which opts for making art entirely outside rather than inside a studio.

The event welcomes artists from across the region to share their talents and beauty of downtown Brevard and surrounding areas. At the end of the weekend, the works they create will be sold at the event’s Wet Paint Show and Sale to support Heart of Brevard. Visitors are invited to come downtown to check out artists at work and to shop the Wet Paint Show and Sale.
