PaintAlaska

Not so long ago, in a land far away from the rest of the art world, a small group of Alaskan artists, also known as the Painted Ladies, got together to make something grand. This creation was different than anything they had dreamed up before. It was a gathering for artists and art appreciators of all walks of life, skill, means, and geographic location. It was to create an incredible and inspiring environment for art to be born, friendships to be forged, and adventure to be had. That event has become the Great Alaskan Plein Air Painting Retreat and occurs every summer in the midst of Alaska's rugged beauty. By purchasing official GAPAR merchandise you can not only become a part of this special event, but you can help support it's future for the long haul.
