"The richness I achieve comes from Nature, the source of my inspiration."

— Paul Cézanne

Cézanne was one of the true pioneers of plein air painting. His words beautifully align with our mission of celebrating how our local environment inspires artists to learn, create and share their work together in a supportive community.

Throwing it back to past Paint Out history — like Artists' Workshop past president Joe Anglin competing in the Quick Draw at Riverside Park — reminds us how Plein Air art has always brought our community together.

Get ready for the 16th Annual NSB Plein Air Paint Out coming this October 20–24, 2026, as acclaimed artists bring New Smyrna Beach's stunning landscapes to life outdoors. As we look back on years of painting in the park, this tradition continues to empower our community: "The celebration of painting outdoors... gives local artists a chance" to showcase their talent while supporting essential art education.

"Since I have started painting plein air, I have met some great people." — Adele Hurton, 2014 Canaveral National Seashore Plein Air Paint Out

🎨 Plein Air is a year-round passion for us! We love seeing local artists out in the wild, which is why we wanted to give a huge shout-out to Rick Orr’s painting group. They are hosting their final scheduled paint out of the spring/summer next Tuesday, and it’s a great chance to create in community before they break for the season!

📅 Tuesday, June 9th at 9:00 AM
📍 Under the Dunlawton Bridge, Port Orange
🗺️ Directions: Go over the bridge, turn right at the light at the end, and take a quick right to head down under the bridge. (Lots of shade, a great breeze, and easy parking right by the water!)

Rick’s group will return in September, just in time to get everyone warmed up for our absolute favorite time of the year—the 16th Annual NSB Plein Air Paint Out coming this October! Featured Artwork: Sun Drenched Fun by Jeanette Herron, Niceville, Florida
