Our mission is to nurture visual art education and experience through the art of plein air painting. We execute this with events,
workshops, lectures, demos, and fundraising. We partner with non-profits in Craven, Pamlico, & Carteret counties of NC.
Creativity is as vital to the life of a community as it is to individuals and a community thrives when it embraces the creative efforts of its citizens and the organizations that support the arts.
We are an annual fundraising arm for the visual arts in Craven, Pamlico, & Carteret counties.
Our organization invites national artists to come and paint our community, live and in person. The artists come at their own expense, and we provide lodging with hosts families, sales venues, and a team to sell the paintings created during the week. Sales proceeds are split 60% for the artist, 40% for the 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. After covering the event expenses, proceeds are shared with partnering non-profits supporting the visual arts in Craven, Pamlico, and Carteret counties.
