- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 29 Aug, 2026 at 11:00 am – Sat, 29 Aug, 2026 at 01:00 pm

The Exhibition will be open From August 29 to September 12, 2026. 

The public is cordially invited to join the Manitoulin Plein Air painters for a meet & greet at the opening reception of the 4th Annual exhibition of works painted outdoors, on site, across Manitoulin Island during the official festival painting period of 2026. The opening of the exhibition will be held at Studio 6-Gore Bay Harbour Centre (40 Water St, Gore Bay, ON) Sat Aug 29 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The exhibition features fresh-off-the-easel paintings, field sketches including landscapes in all media. The artists wish this experience to be meaningful for them and for the public. For this year (2026) a group decision was approved to ditch the annual awards for the sake of building a non-competitive community of artists who compete against their own standards and support each other. The list of participating artists is open and growing as more artists register for this event. A list of participating artists will be finalized and posted in August. 

Camaraderie and the love of painting outdoors is what leads this group. We have no sponsors or grants. We are 100% supported by volunteers from within the group. If you wish to participate as an exhibiting artist in this exhibition, you are welcome to join us! Our festival is open to the public, send us a message and we will forward the participation guidelines and instructions. 

To participate in the group exhibition in August, you must attend at least two group paint-outs in person during the painting period from April to August 2026. 

Paintings drop of date: Monday Aug 24 to Thursday Aug 27. Drop off at Studio 6 in Gore Bay (40 Water St. Gore Bay, ON)

In lieu of awards, in 2026 we are honouring the artists with participation ribbons, to all artists who qualify by attending at least two paint-outs in person and submitting paintings to the show. 
The 2026 festival is not a juried show, anyone at any level can participate. All we ask is that you love painting outdoors, stress free, in a non-competitive, slow paced, quiet, mindful environment. Join us! Send us a message through the Manitoulin Plein Air Facebook page. Or... just come to the opening to see the results of our official painting period.
