Attention all art lovers and enthusiasts! This week, the vibrant community of Winter Park is buzzing with creativity as the 18th Annual Winter Park Paint Out takes center stage at the Albin Polasek Museum & Sculpture Gardens. Kicking off on April 19 and running through April 25, this exciting event promises a delightful blend of artistic expression and community engagement.
For those looking to immerse themselves in the world of plein air painting, this is a must-visit event. Over 20 nationally recognized artists will be painting live throughout Winter Park and Orlando, offering you the unique opportunity to witness their creative processes firsthand. You can catch these talented individuals at various locations across the area, but don’t forget to stop by the museum for a daily display of newly created artwork and to peek into the “wet room” where paintings are in progress.
