Dana Gallery Paint Out Event July 8-12 2025

Every summer for 23 years, Dana Gallery artists have gathered in Missoula to paint outside, “en plein air.” We call this Paint Out! 

The artists bring new paintings from home, their Studio Work, and paint new pieces outside, their Plein Air Work. All work is available for purchase!

Visit Dana Gallery through July to see the new paintings!
Call 406-721-3154 or email info@danagallery.com to purchase.

Participate in a variety of ways

Partner

Paint Out Partners are invaluable sponsors–because of your interest and support, our artists are able to return to this event each year. We couldn’t do it without you!

As a Partner, you’ll enjoy a private dinner party with the artists, priority choice of the new plein air works, and a chance to win one of several appreciation paintings!

To partner, you make a down payment of either $600, $900, or $1200 toward purchasing a painting on Saturday at the Paint Out Party. Your down payment can go toward any work by our attending artists, whether one they brought from their studios or one they painted during the event!

Other Ways to Participate

Watch

A great opportunity to see the artists all in one place is at Maclay Flats on Friday, July 11th from 3 to 7!

You may also be interested in watching the artists paint Tuesday, July 8th and Thursday July 10th. They will be spread throughout Missoula and the Bitterroot Valley, so contact Dana Gallery to find them! 

Paint

No matter your age or your experience level, you are invited to bring your own supplies to Maclay Flats on Friday, July 11th! Set up just like our artists, channel your inner Monet, and paint up a storm en plein air!

(This is a self-guided painting experience)

Purchase

If you are a Paint Out Partner, you’ll see all the paintings Saturday night at the Paint Out Party!
Otherwise, visit Dana Gallery to see the paintings anytime starting Sunday, July 13th through the rest of the month!

Studio works are available for immediate purchase to all. Plein air works are reserved for Paint Out Partners, until they become available for public purchase Saturday, July 19th!
