When do you meet?

We meet quarterly at the Arizona Artist’s Guild building at 18411 North 7th Avenue, Phoenix, AZ, 85023, from 6 to 8 pm. Please, check our calendar for exact dates.

When are the paint outs?

Please, check our calendar to find out when and where we are holding a paint out. We usually have paint outs from October through April in the Maricopa County area. We may have some up north when the temperatures start to rise. We typically do not meet or have paint outs during the summer months as we have either gone into hibernation or left the area.

Do I have to be a member to attend a paint out?

Everyone is welcome to attend our paint outs as they are held in public areas and we are here to promote the practice of painting outdoors. We hope you will want to become a member, though, to support the organization and to be able to participate in other events, such as our Members Show.

Our dues are modest and allow us to provide the services needed to maintain the organization and ensure it’s here to serve you and your outdoor painting needs. You may become a member here.

Do I have

What do I need to bring to a paint out?

Please, check our calendar for paint out locations and dates. Most of our paint outs are held in the Maricopa County area as this is where the majority of our members are located. We are a statewide organization, however, and are always looking for great paint out locations. If you would like to lead a paint out in your area, please fill out this form.
