Discover the Hudson Valley Plein Air Festival

A Week of Landscape Painting and Events in the Hudson Valley!

ON HOLD FOR 2025 AS WE PLAN FOR 2026! 

The Hudson Valley Plein Air Festival, which takes place in the picturesque Hudson Valley annually in mid-October, celebrates art and community with a week full of on-location painting events, interactive activities, and exciting prizes!

What’s in Store:

🎨 Join the Painting Experience: Whether you’re an aspiring artist or a seasoned pro, you’re invited to register and be a part of the creative process. Paint anywhere on the map provided or alongside fellow artists at group paint-out locations scheduled daily.

👩‍🎨 Spectator Opportunities: Not into painting yourself? No problem! Come as a spectator and immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere. Watch live painting demonstrations, engage with artists, and the glorious fall landscape.

🖼️ Engage with Artists: Take the opportunity to talk to the artists, learn about their techniques, and gain inspiration from their work. It’s a unique chance to connect with creative minds and see your favorite locations – captured in paint – from a new perspective.

🎉 Receptions & Awards: Attend our special receptions and awards ceremonies where we celebrate the talent and hard work of all participants. Cheer for your favorites and be part of the excitement as we honor the best of the festival!

We look forward to your participation in 2026!
