The Albin Polasek Museum

& Sculpture Gardens will be

free to the public during its

annual Winter Park Paint

Out, held next from April 19

through 25. During the event,

25 nationally acclaimed

plein air artists will paint

live at the museum and

favorite Winter Park and

Orlando locations. Art lovers

are invited to watch the

artists at work, view recently

completed art at the museum

and online, and attend free

painting demos.

“Collectors develop

relationships with our artists

throughout the week and

can watch their painting

take shape from start to

finish,” adds the museum’s

curator Rachel Frisby. “This

isn’t just impersonal fine

art you can purchase at

any auction house. There’s

a real connection to the

location, the artists and the

memory of the collector

who participates fully in the

weeklong festival.”

Artwork created during the

Winter Park Paint Out will be

available for purchase with

a portion of the proceeds

supporting the preservation,

maintenance and operations

of the museum. Collectors

anywhere can buy the show’s

artwork, as it is posted on the

event’s website in real time.

This is a juried art festival

with beloved Florida artists

and exceptional out-of-state

participants, including

Morgan Samuel Price, Don

Sondag and Matthew Cornell.

The festival closes with the

Garden Party on Saturday,

April 25, from 6 to 9 p.m. at

the museum. At this ticketed

party, guests can meet the

artists, purchase their work

and see the exhibition of more

than 200 fresh paintings.
