Sparrow Plein Air Festival

Join us for a weekend of painting, creativity, and connection—outdoors in beautiful Middlebury, Vermont! ? The 2nd annual Sparrow Plein Air Festival is a three-day painting and sketching event that transforms Middlebury into a vibrant, open-air studio and is open to artists of all ages, levels, and mediums. Whether you’re a seasoned plein air painter or picking up a brush for the first time, you’re invited to capture the world around you in real time alongside a welcoming creative community. Visitors are invited to explore the town, watch artists at work in real time throughout downtown streets, riverbanks, gardens, and historic sites, and enjoy family-friendly demonstrations and community programming all weekend long.
