At the bottom of this page you will find our TCAA CALENDAR with our ongoing agenda. It will show you the dates and places of our Tuesdays Open Studio Plein Air sites and what demonstrators are coming. The Tuesday Painters is open to all TCAA members, but really, consider joining us if you're not a member yet!

For only $25. a year you get to join in in a lot of inspiration, outdoor painting, exhibits, cameraderie and MORE.

We are artists in every stage of creating. From the 'just beginning' to quite advanced. We love to paint and do whatever kind of creating we can. From beautiful scenes to still lifes to figure drawing to abstracted arts. You'll hear about upcoming exhibits. We'll feel your joy in winning awards as well as that awful feeling of (unnecessary) rejection we just can't help feeling if we don't get an award. We're simply a "works in progress".
