Mount Dora Plein Air Paint Out Exhibition
Oct 18 - Nov 8, 2025
Exhibit opening and Awards ceremony is Sat Oct 18, 2025 (5-7 pm)
Every October, artists convene in downtown Mount Dora for MDCA’s Mount Dora Plein Air Paint Out. During the week, artists are allowed to paint live from any location in the Mount Dora area on pre-stamped, dated canvases. The artwork is then brought to the gallery and judged for ribbons and cash awards. All paintings are available for sale during the Exhibition. Proceeds benefit art programming in the community.
Quick Draw takes place on Sat Nov 1, 2025 9am-1pm in Donnelly Park at the Mount Dora Plant and Garden Fair. Those paintings will also be available for purchase in the gallery after the event.
