The Lunenburg Arts Fest is an exciting annual Plein Air event formerly known as Paint Sea On Site. The Lunenburg Art Gallery Society has successfully hosted this Annual event for 21 years with the exception of 2020 due to COVID. 

Live Art at it’s finest, the Festival, coordinates a group of participating artists painting in and around the town of Lunenburg. It is an art festival that engages the public and provides everyone an opportunity to watch artists at work. Last year saw us move the show venue totally outdoors. This year, thanks to the Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic, completed artwork will again be showcased in a large outdoor tent on the Fisheries Museum Wharf! 

In addition to traditional Plein Air painting artists, the festival (LAF) involves artists working in a variety of mediums in both 2 and 3-dimensional work. Artists will be demonstrating their skills LIVE and show and sell their work in the many tent areas on the wharf. 

New this year, we have added a Studio Tour component to the weekend! Artists will be able to join as a studio or gallery and will have a place on the map. This opens it up to artists in and around the Lunenburg area within our boundaries.

ADMISSION as always IS FREE!
