Bluff Strokes 2018 Plein Air Paint Out
Bluff Strokes 2018 Plein Air Paint Out ran from October 7th to October 13th. 60 artists from 8 states painted scenes in Dubuque County for 6 days in competition for $10,000 in award money. 300 paintings were hung for sale at our Friday Patron Party and Saturday Public Sale in Historic Steeple Square. The winning paintings are just a sampling of how the artists experienced and captured Dubuque.
Why Paint Dubuque?
Historic architecture, interesting landmarks, Driftless Area topography, beautiful parks and arboretum, and the Mighty Mississippi.
Dubuque also offers a rich performing and visual arts scene, and, important to creatives, a wealth of interesting locally owned venues such as restaurants, coffee shops and microbreweries. As a tool for artists, we have developed our Paint Dubuque website, which provides suggested painting locations with site information and embedded maps.
