Featured Plein Air painting “Path to the Rose Garden” by Artist Bob Upton.
Groveland Gallery’s 11th Annual Plein Air Smackdown is scheduled Saturday, July 25, 2026. It’s a great way to experience art in the wild as 40 plein air artists paint around our Minneapolis neighborhood. Painters will be at their easels from 10am-1pm and then display their works at Groveland Gallery 2pm-5pm. Enjoy the opportunity to visit with artists and watch them paint, then purchase their fresh paintings framed and displayed in the gallery. We’ll serve lemonade and snacks on the Groveland Gallery porch overlooking the Walker Sculpture Garden. Visit our web site for details. Groveland Gallery is presenting this year’s event in collaboration with @Outdoor Painters of Minnesota.
