With sixteen hours of shifting sunlight, noctunal light shows, sparkling freshwater, and rich tones of wildflowers and meadowgrass, the Chequamegon Bay area in early summer is a lush environment in which you can discover or hone your plein air aspirations. Featuring outdoor demonstrations and open-air painting sessions in various local landscapes, the Plein Air of Washburn Festival is a non-competetive and community building painting festival that welcomes artists of all levels.

No matter the weather, paw fest will be the catalyst for your creative summer and a breath of fresh air!
