Locations throughout Solomons and Annmarie Garden Sculpture Park & Arts Center, Solomons, Maryland. .

The Solomons Business Association & the Mid-Atlantic Plein Air Painters Association

The lovely waterfront town of Solomons, Maryland is the setting for the plein air festival! If you've never experienced an event of this kind, consider visiting the picturesque Solomons community for a weekend of art and entertainment. Plein air painting is painting that takes place outdoors, but what makes Solomons-Paint the Town truly exciting is that the event is a competition for the participating artists.

The Resort Town of Solomons Island - Calvert County, Maryland

Solomons-Paint the Town will give plein air artists the opportunity to enjoy their art form and share their creativity with the public. To the viewer, this art form can be very exciting because it invites you into the creative process, the sight, sound, and even smell of the artist's world. This exciting artistic spectacle is coupled with a wide array of programs and activities offered at various locations throughout the Solomons community.
