Paint Dexter Plein Air Festival Update

Artist Registration

Artist registration for this year’s Paint Dexter Plein Air Festival will be closing Friday, July 1st. Anyone who wishes to register as an Emerging Artist can do so by visiting: paintdexter.com/artist-registration/.

Property Painting Registration

Do you have an interesting house, field, stream, or barn on your property? Are you interested in having a painting of your property created by an amazing artist?  We are creating a list of properties within the Dexter School District where our participating artists can go to paint *with the permission of the property owner*. The addition of your house to the list does not guarantee that your property will be selected by an artist. To register your property, please visit: https://paintdexter.com/volunteers/.

Volunteers

The Dexter Arts, Culture, and Heritage Committee is also looking for volunteers to 1) host an artist in their home during the weeklong Festival; and 2) assist with Paint Dexter Plein Air Festival operations. We welcome any interested individuals, groups, and artists to sign-up for one of the volunteer opportunities that the Festival has to offer.
