Twenty fine artists are participating in the 2025 Wrightsville Beach Invitational Paint Out, working around the community to capture the beauty of coastal North Carolina in April. After a week of painting together the artists will set up an Art Fair on the grounds surrounding The Harbor Way Gardens to sell their creations. In addition to the art fair there will be:
The Harbor Island Garden Club, Wrightsville Beach Parks & Recreation and Artful Events by Star. A portion of all sales go to benefit the continued upkeep and improvements at The Harbor Way Gardens. This event is free and open to the public. There is ample free parking on site while visiting the event. If you are interested in commissioning an original painting of your home, your dock, your boat or your business please review the websites of the participating artists and contact your favorites to make arrangements. Most are happy to do special orders and will be in the area for a week to paint. It is best to contact them in advance, so they can prepare. Click here for more information about the artists. |
