“I so loved being part of the Top of Georgia Plein Air Festival. It was extremely well planned and organized, from registration to the wet paint sell I felt welcomed. The TOGPAF committee and volunteers were available any time we needed something. My only suggestion is to do it again and again! “

Top of Georgia Plein Air Festival (TOGPAF) is a three-day, open enrollment painting event.

We are celebrating our 3rd year.

TOGPAF is more than an artists' competition with cash prizes.  It is a wonderful opportunity for the public

to experience creativity in action as the artists paint outside the confines of the four walls of their studios,

painting in the open, or en plein air.

Their inspiration is drawn from the beautiful scenery of the mountains of North Georgia.
