The Hockaday Museum of Art in Kalispell will host one of its most-popular annual events, the Plein Art Paint Out, from June 17-19.

During the event, a wide range of artists will pick a location in Glacier National Park to paint in the outdoors, and create as many paintings as they can in three days.

Afterward, the paintings will be offered at fixed prices to benefit the museum.

This is the eighth year for the event, and artists include Rob Akey, Tabby Ivy, Nicholas Oberling, Mark Ogle, Allen Jimmerson, Linda Tippetts, Rachel Warner and many more.

New this year are exclusive Red Bus Plein Air tours on June 17, during which art patrons can reserve a spot to watch Ogle, Jimmerson, Akey and Oberling paint.

On June 20, the museum will host the event’s party and sale, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., where the paintings will be sold. There will be live music, food, and beverages. Following the party, the paintings created during the Plein Air Paint Out will be displayed at the museum and remain for sale from June 25 through July 25.
