Plan to join other artists for a day of springtime celebration and painting on location in and around the beautiful city of Gainesville, Georgia. This "paint out" is a plein air painting event that has been planned as the culmination of the Quinlan's 60th Anniversary Celebration and as a unique opportunity to show our appreciation to the artists who have made our lives so much brighter. All professional and amateur artists ages 18 and up are cordially invited to participate in Paint the Town. Painters of all media are welcome. There will be prizes awarded including a $500 Best in Show.
