On October 15-19, Downtown Dover, DE's premiere plein air painting event, now in its seventh year, illustrates our commitment to provide high quality arts programming in downtown Dover and the surrounding area. By engaging artists from around the region and inviting the entire community into the process and outcome, we are showcasing local talent and beautiful depictions of our beloved downtown through the eyes of talented artists.

This plein air painting event features the work of +/-25 talented regional artists over just several days’ time. Artists compete for $2,000 in prizes. D An extended exhibition in downtown store window will bring another +/- 250 views.
