17th Annual Plein Air Paint Out Auction

Join us for the 17th Annual PAPO Auction at View! This is a FREE event to attend and is open to the public. Preview starts at 4pm and the auction starts at 5! Be sure to get here early to get a close up look at each of the paintings.

Each year, around 50 artists come to Old Forge to Plein Air paint in our beautiful Adirondack Park. These artists come from all over the country and specialize in a variety of mediums from watercolor, acrylic, oil, pastel, and more. The auction is the perfect way for you to come see their work as well as bid on your favorite piece! Meet some of the artists behind the work, enjoy some light appetizers, a cash bar, browse our consignment sale in the lobby, and enjoy a fun and eventful evening!
