The Marine Discovery Center, along with Friends of Canaveral, will benefit from this year’s New Smyrna Beach Paint Out.
In its seventh year in the New Smyrna Beach area, the Paint Out, formerly known as “Canaveral Seashore Plein Air Paint Out,” will be held Oct. 8-14.
The event features professional artists invited from around the country to paint “En Plein Air” within Canaveral National Seashore and around the historic community of New Smyrna Beach.
The weeklong event features an evening gala on Saturday, Oct. 14 at Outriggers Tiki Bar & Grille on the North Causeway. Tickets are $40 each or $70 for two tickets.
There are also a variety of featured and judged paint-out events, a plein air gallery, live auction and events featuring both local and national artists capturing the essence of our coastal community.
Just as televised chef competitions give contestants a set amount of time and ingredients to create a culinary dish, one event gives artists two hours to create a painting, which is then judged.
Art patrons and Paint Out sponsors support the event financially, with proceeds benefitting the Marine Discovery Center and Friends of Canaveral through sales and sponsorships.
