Join the local art scene in celebrating the 1st Annual ArtEast Plein Air Paint Out and Auction on June 29.

Participating artists will be set up in areas around the Harlem Valley and Pawling. General locations can be found on the event website map.

The event culminates in a reception – free to the public – rain or shine, at Lakeside Park, Pawling NY. Starting at 5:00 pm, patrons will be able to meet the artists, view their work created that day, and vote for the People’s Choice Award of $200. Dancing Bear Café of Pawling is a sponsor of the event and will be supplying delectable treats for all to enjoy. At 6:00 pm, a live auction will begin. This event is a collaborative fundraiser for the participating artists and the Oblong Land Conservancy, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization whose mission is to maintain the natural resources of the Harlem Valley, including wildlife habitats, water quality, agricultural lands, and scenic vistas, through engagement with the community.
