A Celebration of Art In the Mountains

The Brevard Plein Air Festival returns for its sixth year as a four-day juried painting event, culminating in a vibrant downtown celebration on Saturday, September 19. The festival finale features the popular Wet Paint Art Show & Sale alongside a lively street festival with local vendors, food trucks, live entertainment, and more. This signature event invites talented artists from across the region to capture the breathtaking landscapes and vibrant spirit of Brevard and its surrounding areas.

September is the perfect time to experience Western North Carolina as the first hints of fall begin to transform the mountains with vibrant color. Artists will find endless inspiration in the area’s renowned waterfalls, sweeping mountain vistas, serene valleys, and Brevard’s charming downtown. Lined with locally owned shops, galleries, and cafés, the historic streets provide the perfect backdrop for showcasing the town’s unique character and welcoming community.

Celebrate six years of creativity, community, and the beauty of plein air painting this September in the heart of downtown Brevard.
