Plein Air Backyard Park

Art lovers, families, and curious beginners are invited to gather for a Plein Air Community Painting Party on Saturday, July 11, 2026, at Backyard Park in Jeffersonville NY.
The free event will run from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM and offers a unique opportunity to create art outdoors while connecting with neighbors and enjoying the beauty of summer in Sullivan County.
Nestled in the tiny village of Jeffersonville, Backyard Park is a joyous mix of nature, whimsy, and serenity. It has a nature trail that is just a few steps away from Jeffersonville’s Main St, so there are an infinite number of scenes to be captured on canvas.
Whether you’re an experienced artist or picking up a brush for the first time, the event emphasizes creativity, fun, and community over perfection. Complimentary refreshments will be available throughout the day and there will be an exhibit of the Jeffersonville Branch of the Western Sullivan Library on August 8.
This is a FREE event, but pre-registration is required. Email barryvilleareaarts@gmail.com to register. For the complete calendar of 2026 plein air events, visit www.barryvilleareaarts.org/PleinAirAdventures.html
This event is sponsored by the Western Sullivan Public Library and the Barryville Area Arts Association. It is made possible with funds from the Statewide Community Regrants Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature and administered by the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance.
