Professional Registration: 2025 Lavender Paint Out
This is registration for the 2025 Lavender Festival Paint-Out: Professional Division.
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. Then, paintings are dropped off at the Chehalem Cultural Center for the festival weekend and exhibition! Our guest judge will select winners and award prizes.
