ABOUT THE SHOW
It’s back! The Orange County Arts Commission presents the 8th Annual Paint It Orange Plein Air Paint-Out and Wet Paint Sale. Last year’s Paint it Orange hosted 75 painters from four states, and featured over 150 works of original fine art during the Wet Paint Sale! The event celebrates artists of all types and all abilities and combines gorgeous scenery with the opportunity to meet other painters from around the region.
Join us in beautiful Orange County, North Carolina, to capture the landscapes and landmarks of the communities of Chapel Hill, Hillsborough, and Carrboro. Participating artists will paint at sites of their choosing (maps are provided) throughout Orange County from either September 27-29 or October 2-4 and will include up to two of their favorite paintings for jurying on Friday, October 4 at the Eno Arts Mill Gallery in Hillsborough.
An awards ceremony and preview party for artists and sponsors will take place at 5pm, followed by the Wet Paint Sale Party at 6pm, in which the submitted paintings will be available for sale to the general public.
ABOUT THE MUSIC
Jesse Fox – a name that echoes within the realm of soulful artistry and immersive storytelling. Each performance is a gateway to an emotional landscape where heartfelt melodies and eloquent narratives seamlessly entwine, resonating deep within the core of one’s being. Rooted in the musically diverse landscape of North Carolina, Fox emerges as a master craftsman of lyrics, weaving songs that stir even the most stoic of spirits.
From his early musical explorations with the acclaimed folk band Love & Valor, Jesse embarked on a journey to define his voice as a singular singer-songwriter. Guided by the echoes of the past, he channels the timeless resonance of songsmiths like Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash. Concurrently, he embraces the sonic tapestry of modern troubadours like The Avett Brothers, The Lumineers, and The Civil Wars. The result is an enchanting fusion of Americana, folk, and deeply emotive ballads.
