What is the Wekiva Paint Out?

Each year, Wekiva Island plays host to the Wekiva Paint Out, where dozens of artists paint for a week in “plein air”- out in the open. Their inspiration? Beautiful Wekiva Island, the Wekiva River and the Wekiwa Springs State Park, of course. All proceeds benefit the Wekiva Wilderness Trust and Keep Seminole Beautiful. Both 501(3)c’s.

All week long, there will be several events each day. We have an exciting art auction, artists painting and food and fun all week long!

We are selling art created during the Wekiva Paint Out online through our virtual exhibition from Gallery CERO! If you are unable to experience the Paint Out in person, see how you can still browse and buy art online.
