Plein Air Sponsorships

Blowing Rock Plein Air Festival & BRAHM’s Wet Paint Sale Sponsorships Packages

After a challenging 2024, we are excited to look ahead to brighter days in 2025 and a return to one of our region’s most cherished events. The Blowing Rock Plein Air Festival has become a beloved summer tradition, drawing talented artists from across the country to capture the breathtaking beauty of the High Country landscape. In 2025, we will gather from August 19th to 23rd, culminating in the Show & Sale on Saturday, August 23rd.

Artist spots for the festival were filled in just 15 minutes, and there’s already a waitlist of over another 100 talented painters eager to participate. But don’t worry—you can still be a part of the excitement by becoming a sponsor! As a sponsor, you'll get exclusive early access to the Plein Air Festival Show & Sale, where you can be first in line to acquire extraordinary works of art inspired by the beautiful Blowing Rock area.

Your sponsorship directly supports the Blowing Rock Art & History Museum’s educational programs, helping bring arts education to our local community, from children to seniors.

Join us in making this year’s festival a success while enjoying special access to the event and the opportunity to meet the artists behind the paintings at our artist and sponsor mixer August 19th.
