Fresh Paint is a dynamic and immersive event that celebrates creativity and artistry in a vibrant and interactive way. Held in Downtown Everett, this multi-day festival brings together a diverse group of talented artists who not only showcase their finished works, but also actively create and sell their artwork on-site. From painters and sculptors to printmakers, mixed media artists, and beyond, the festival features a wide range of artistic styles and mediums, creating a dynamic and visually stimulating experience.

Witness the creative process firsthand and get a rare glimpse into an artist’s techniques, inspirations, and methods in our Schack Art Center Open Studios. Visitors can watch as paintings come to life, molten glass takes shape, and prints are pulled from presses, gaining insight into the artistic process, engaging in conversations with the artists and creating a direct connection between artist and buyer.
