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? Festival staff annually prepares 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 home or property will be selected by an artist. If a piece is created of your home and/or property, it is likely to be hung for sale the Friday and Saturday of the Festival in the Monument Park tent. For more information, please visit https://paintdexter.com/volunteers/
