Spend a day painting en plein air on Horn Island, a protected national wilderness and one of the most inspiring landscapes on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. This Sunday outing is a self-directed plein air experience designed for artists who want uninterrupted time to observe, explore, and paint in a truly wild setting.

Participants will travel to the island by charter boat and spend the day working independently or alongside fellow artists, responding to the island’s shifting light, wind, and terrain. From wide horizons and dunes to maritime forest and shoreline, Horn Island offers endless visual inspiration for painters working from direct observation.
Includes:
Round-trip boat transportation to Horn Island
A full day of self-directed plein air painting
Time and space to explore and paint within a national wilderness refuge

Please Note:
No demonstrations or instruction are included with this ticket
Space is limited due to boat capacity
All visitors must follow Leave No Trace principles while on the island

This experience is ideal for artists seeking quiet immersion, creative focus, and a deep connection to the landscape — guided not by instruction, but by place.
