Cape Ann Plein Air offers a variety of year-round community events that celebrate art and creativity in the region. These include outdoor "paint-outs," where artists gather to capture the beauty of Cape Ann's landscapes in real time, as well as friendly competitions that allow both emerging and established artists to showcase their skills. These gatherings provide an opportunity for locals and visitors to connect with the artistic process, watch painters at work, and enjoy the stunning scenery of the area.

Cape Ann Plein Air has also partnered with local organizations like the North Shore Art Association, Rocky Neck Art Association, Cape Ann Chamber of Commerce, and Maritime Gloucester to further enrich the local art scene. From intimate workshops to large-scale events, Cape Ann Plein Air fosters a vibrant, year-round community centered around art and creativity.
