Hey Townsend: Paintout with Featured Artists

Experience the charm of Townsend like never before during the “Hey Townsend” Paintout — an evening of live outdoor painting with all of the Plein Air Smokies Featured Artists gathered in one extraordinary location.

Set against the rustic backdrop of the Great Smoky Mountains Heritage Center, this event presents a rare opportunity to witness artists interpret historic Appalachian buildings, barns, and workshops in a vibrant and beautiful setting. Wander the grounds, watch paintings come to life in real time, and chat with artists about their techniques, inspirations, and creative process.

Whether you’re an art lover, a history buff, or simply enjoy a beautiful evening in the mountains, this is an unforgettable way to experience the intersection of culture, creativity, and community.

This event is free and open to the public. No tickets or registration needed — just stop by and enjoy the magic of art in motion.
