Our 15th Annual Brush Creek Art Walk (BCAW2026) welcomed 54 pre-registered artists for a 3-day weekend of outdoor painting. Highlights included three "Quick Paint" events—starting with a lively Friday night Nocturne on the Plaza ($500 Purchase Award sponsored by bcawfoundation.org), followed by Saturday at the Discovery Center and a Sunday Sunset Quick Paint.

Over the weekend, artists created 80 original, framed plein air works capturing locations along a 4-mile stretch of Brush Creek from the Country Club Plaza east to Elmwood Avenue.
