Art on the Wall 2026

Golden Hour Among the Cosmos by Coakley Brown, one of the three winners of the Artists' Choice Award in 2025

For four days, artists from across the country will capture the beauty of Essex County—one brushstroke at a time.

Then the paintings come off the easels and go straight onto the wall.

Join TAG on October 24 from 5–8 p.m. for Art on the Wall, the thrilling finale of our 7th Annual Tidelands Plein Air Event.

Come enjoy:

• Fresh, original artwork inspired by Essex County

• The chance to purchase brand new paintings from the participating artists

• Delicious food, drinks, and great company

• A lively celebration of creativity and community
