The 8th Annual Paint the Town:
Portsmouth Village Edition

September 10th, 11th & 12th​

Paint the Town 2021

We had a great time during Kingston’s largest 3-day outdoor painting Plein Air event! On September 10-12 2021, we welcomed over 50 artists of "all ages and stages" to historic Portsmouth Village. With beautiful houses, historic taverns, whimsical gardens, and renowned waterfront, this year's location offered an abundance of subjects to paint or draw. The weather coooperated beautifully, and participants enjoyed an outside reception at the end of the event to view and appreciate each other's work.

Many thanks to our volunteers, staff, and community partners for making Paint the Town 2021 a success!

Exhibition Opportunity
​
Our Paint the Town Exhibition will be on display at the Window Art Gallery from December 3 - 19 and we welcome those who started and completed plein air creations during our Paint the Town Event to submit.

​What is Plein-Air Painting?

  En plein air is a French expression that means “in the open air.” It is used by artists to describe the art of outdoor painting, capturing landscapes and views in natural light.
