The SullivanMunce Cultural Center is hosting its 9th annual Paint Out on June 14, as part of the weekend-long festivities in the village. Canvases and paints will be provided for all participants, and then there will be a judging session for the top paintings.

“The Munce Art Center at the SullivanMunce Cultural Center is dedicated to presenting and promoting the arts in Zionsville and the surrounding region,” Cynthia Young, executive director and Munce Art Center director of the SullivanMunce Cultural Center said. “The Zionsville Paint Out was started as a way to promote the arts in Zionsville and to bring plein air artists together for a wonderful day of capturing our beautiful town in paint and to give visitors a chance to see artists at work.

The event is open to artists of all ages and skill levels. Artists must check-in between 7 to 10 a.m. at the SullivanMunce Cultural Center, 225 W. Hawthorne St., the morning of the event to get their canvases stamped or mixed media tagged. Using their own supplies, participants are encouraged to create original artwork in any medium. All registered works completed that day by 2 p.m. will be eligible for judging and will be available for sale after the Paint Out awards ceremony located at the CruZionsville stage on Main Street.

The event is free for members and children under age 17, and $25 for non-members with a continental breakfast included. The Zionsville Paint Out will be held rain or shine. To register, please contact Executive Director/Art Center Director Cynthia Young at 873-4900 or [email protected].
