The 2018 Paint the Grand event takes place Sunday, June 10, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. (rain date is Sunday, June 24, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.)
Both amateur and professional artists are invited to set up their easels on the Art Loop within walking distance of the cottage. If you're an artist and want to participate, please fill out the online Paint the Grand Artist Registration Form.
If you're not an artist, you can participate by taking a leisurely stroll through the Art Loop near the cottage to discover, observe, and chat with the artists as they create their art en plein air in support of McDougall Cottage's annual Musician-in-Residence program. Art Loop maps available at the McDougall Cottage.
