Plein Air Pop-up Exhibit

The St. Augustine Art Association hosts The Plein Air Pop-Up Exhibit at the St. Augustine Yacht Club on Sunday, April 27, 2025, from noon to 6:30 p.m. The exhibit, featuring artwork from the 2025 Plein-Air Paint Out, celebrates St. Augustine's architectural and coastal beauty through the tradition of painting "en plein air" (French for outdoors).

During the paint-out, artists capture St. Augustine’s most picturesque locations, from historic landmarks like the Ximenez-Fatio House, Aviles Street, Charlotte Street, and Flagler College to scenic coastal views along the bayfront and beaches. Their works, created on-site in natural light, showcase the beauty of the nation’s oldest city.

You are invited to explore the artwork from the paint-out event during the Plein Air Pop-Up Exhibit on the Yacht Club’s covered deck, where completed works will be available for viewing and purchase. A cash bar will be inside. The event concludes with a closing reception and awards presentation from 4:30 – 6:30 p.m., featuring light refreshments, drinks, and recognition for outstanding works.

Admission: Free and open to the public from 12:00 to 3:00 p.m. on Sunday, April 27, 2025. A closing reception and awards presentation will be held from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. on the same day. Tickets for this portion of the event are $35.00 for registered Plein Air artists and $50.00 for non-artists. Tickets must be purchased by Friday, April 25, 2025.

When: Sunday, April 27, 2025, from noon to 6:30 p.m. The exhibit is open from 12:00 to 3:00 p.m., and the closing reception and awards presentation take place from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m.
