About the Malta Plein Air Meet Up 2026, from 25th to the 29th September.

This a free Meet Up suitable for Plein Air Artists experienced in painting in urban environments. It is open to artists who register (see information below). Registrations will be limited to a manageable number of participants. The Meet Up Format: we meet up at prearranged locations each day. Artists select where they would like to paint and set up their equipment. N.B. You are not chaperoned whilst painting and as part of your registration you agree to accept sole responsibility for the carrying and setting up of your own equipment safely.

After painting Artists were invited to return to the meeting point and line up their work for group photo and video of the paintings.

The Meet Up in 2025 was a great success with artists enjoying each others company and the wonderful locations. Many brought their partners who also enjoyed a holiday. We paint early morning or after 3pm to avoid midday heat. The remainder of the day you are free to enjoy Malta. Many questions are answered in the FAQ’s.
