6 Editions • 10 Years

Over the past decade, the Plein Air Curaçao International Art Festival has brought local and international artists to Curaçao to paint on location across the island. Through exhibitions, public painting sessions, and cultural exchange, the festival has developed into a recognized platform for plein air painting in the Caribbean. The Festival presents a week of exciting programming that brings painters together to paint on land, underwater, and from high-altitude locations. Events include workshops, exhibitions of festival paintings, and a concluding contest. â€‹â€‹

Joining Plein Air Curaçao is like an addiction. Once seen Curaçao through artist's eyes, tp return there is a must. There's so much to see and to paint, one time is not enough! 

Art Foundation Curaçao does very good work to organize this festival.

Painting in Curaçao with such amazing artists is a life dream.

The Paint-Out Competition

The organizers were fantastic. They really made us feel welcomed and painting trips enjoyable.  I look forward to teaching a workshop and to painting with everyone again!

Returning to Curacao for my 5th time to participate in Plein Air Curacao. I have loved each visit because of the friendships made, the exciting painting experiences I have had, the wonderful support of the Plein Air Curacao Volunteers and Planning Committees (who have always created special activities and found beautiful locations for the painters) and just amazing Curacao itself.

Getting to meet other artists, learning from them and pushing my boundaries as a painter in an unfamiliar environment is exhilarating.
