This is registration for the Open Division for the 2025 Lavender Paint-Out.

Each year artists from across Oregon and Washington take part in the Lavender Festival Paint-Out; a plein air painting event and art show. Artists sign up in our professional or open divisions, and over a series of 4 weeks have the opportunity to paint at participating lavender farms.
