North Bay Plein Air Festival 2026
July 13-19th
Registration is open
Calling all artists! NBPAF is a celebration of our environment, creating outdoors, and sharing art-making moments with the community. This event is free and open to artists of all ages.
1. Register in-person at Good Atlas, or using the Google Sheet here: https://forms.gle/YkmNTtDW64r1B3VD9
2. Stamp your surface between July 13-19th before you start working. This makes sure that everyone has a level playing field!
3. Paint anywhere ~50km around North Bay! Work should be completed on-site. Don’t take a photo and work on it at home - that makes it less fun 
4. Submit your favourite piece for display/sale at Good Atlas Gallery.
5. Invite your friends and family to vote on a people's choice award during the exhibition from July 29th-Sept 5th.
Due to increased participation, this year there is a limit of one artwork per artist for the gallery - however you are free to stamp as many panels as you would like in preparation.
Thank you to our sponsors City of North Bay City of North Bay.
