The Coastal Colors Plein Air Paint Out and Reception Celebration was one for the books!
Thank you to all the artists who participated in the paint out this year. Everyone was blown away by the skill, talent, and true creativity from each artist. ๐จ
The paint out took place at the House of Refuge Museum at Gilbert's Bar in April 2026. Each artist highlighted the beauty of The House of Refuge and the natural surroundings, while creating very unique and one-of-a-kind pieces of artwork. ๐
Special shout out to Catherine Frazier Larsen and @lindsay Famiglietti for all their efforts in planning and coordinating the paint out event, thanks to Jes Robinson for curating such a beautiful exhibit, and to all the other HSMC staff and volunteers involved. ๐ซถ๐ผ
This event couldnโt have been possible without our generous sponsors. Thank you to Betsy Herold and Stephen Dutcher.
We invite you to come experience the exhibition for yourself at the Elliott Museum! The exhibit will last until July 28th. โจ
