PAINT KERRVILLE! 2025

41 artists spread out all over Kerr County & the city of Kerrville to capture this Hill Country community as only plein air painters can!  The weather was perfect for plein air & this year’s event was very successful as evidenced by the sale of 33 paintings! To show support for those affected by the devastating July 4th flood, artists donated 5% of their sales to a flood damaged community relief fund. Their donation matched the 5% of sales donated by Kerrville Arts & Cultural Center. The Friday night VIP reception was well attended and many of the sales happened that evening.

Thank you again to Beverly Boren for judging such a beautiful show!
