Get ready for Plein Air Down Under from September 21 to 23, where the Peel region will transform into an art lover's paradise. This isn't just any painting festival; it's the biggest outdoor paint-off around, attracting over 200 artists who are probably as caffeinated as they are creative. With more than $12,000 in prizes up for grabs, it's like the Olympics of outdoor painting, minus the sweaty tracksuits. Keep your eyes peeled for painting gurus like Leon Holmes, Lori Putnam, and Tony Robinson as they unleash their brush skills in masterclasses that might just redefine art for you.

When the artists aren't busy trying to capture the wild beauty of the town centre and historic Pinjarra, you can meander over to the Mandurah Performing Arts Centre, the heart of the festival. Here, you can enjoy free live music and demonstrations while trying not to get paint on your shoes. It's a chill space perfect for sitting back, soaking in some tunes, and maybe picking up a tip or two—like how to avoid turning your new shirt into a modern art piece. Whether you're a casual onlooker or secretly dreaming of being the next Van Gogh, there's a little something for everyone as the colorful chaos unfolds.
