We are keeping it SIMPLE this year as all are wheeling from the effects of Ian on the area.
Venice Plein Air MAP which equals
Meet And Paint
simple as that, and our
Mission: "Preserving Venice One Plein Air Painting At A Time
Since 2003
...No Fees
Just Outdoor painting Camaraderie! "

1st Monday & 3rd Saturday each month.

We meet 8:30ish - Noonish. Critique if wish starts around 11:30am.
Caspersen's we paint all along the boardwalk, and usually meet down towards the end of the beach along the surf.
Historic Downtown Venice we meet at or around the Gazebo and spread out from there.
Simply look for fellow painters, introduce yourself... and paint on.
Follow our Facebook Page if you can for updates, and will also share there when other painting opportunities are available in our area. Hopefully we will be able to dual MAP with Sharon's Group Peace River Painters, as we annually do. Their area hit hard by Ian.
Karen Ann Hitt, your VPA Facilitator apologizes for so many missed dates in our last season. She herself experienced a flood of her home and many extenuating circumstances where restoration took over a year. Heart goes out to all in the area that are picking up the pieces of their world post Ian. Thankful to be able to still MAP this season... and hope to see lots of familiar faces at our beloved places for some good ole outdoor painting camaraderie... and yes preserving our beloved area with Art!
