Balonne Shire Art Paint Out – Community Day (St George, QLD)

The Balonne Shire ART Paint Out is a relaxed, shire-wide creative event welcoming artists of all levels and all mediums. Set on the banks of the Balonne River in St George, it is a celebration of place, people, and creativity.
​
The centrepiece is the ART Paint Out Day on Sunday 26 April, with artists painting and drawing in designated areas along the Balonne River, either individually or in groups, at their own pace. You may work from the landscape or use your own reference images. Guidance from established artists is available if desired.
