"BCAW 2025"
September 30th through May 31st, 2026

         Our 14th Annual Brush Creek Art Walk (2025) provided nearly 50 pre-registered artists a 3-day weekend of outdoor painting.  Starting on Friday, September 12th with a lively ‘Nocturne on the Plaza’ “Quick Paint" where 30 artists competed to create the winning $500 'Purchase Award' from KCParks. Two other Quick Paint events occured on both Saturday (Discovery Center) and Sunday for a Sunset Quick Paint.  80 original/framed works were eventually submitted for judging and sale starting Tuesday, October 7th, 2025.

         These original framed works were all generated en plein air (outdoor painting) and reflect locations from the Plaza on the West heading 4 miles East to along Brush Creek to Elmwood Avenue.  If you’re hoping to see these works in person, maybe prior to purchase, they will be on display at various locations.  Check our website for these locations over the coming months and be sure to contact us with any questions.

         The Awards Reception takes place on Tuesday, October 7th (6pm-8pm) at the Anita B. Gorman Conservation Discovery Center (4750 Troost) with works on display through November.  The final results are posted on our webpage www.bcawfoundation.org along with judges notes at the conclusion of our Awards Event that evening.

         We want to thank Buttonwood Art Space for providing us the opportunity to sell these amazing works -ONLINE ONLY- Artwork will not be on display at Buttonwood Art Space at any time.  These 80+ Originals will travel to two additional locations in the Crossroads over the winter and early spring months with a number of First Friday’s expected.  Thank you BAS for all the support!

        Artworks purchased benefit the artists and Brush Creek Art Walk Foundation (20% of sales) with 80% of the sale going directly back to the artist.  If you are interested in reading more about our event and to get on our mailing list for seasonal events - check out our website: https://www.bcawfoundation.org/
