“Wet Paint Tamworth” at Remick

Wet Paint Tamworth returns to Remick on Friday, April 24 (times listed are approximate)! This 7th annual painters’ retreat, organized by The Preserve at Chocorua, provides professional artists with a collective and immersive time to paint outdoors, en plein air. This year’s event takes place Thursday, April 23–Saturday, April 25 (daily schedule). Each day of the retreat, the group gathers at various scenic and sought-out locations across Tamworth, including Remick. While on-site, the artists welcome visitors to observe them as they paint and enjoy interacting with interested onlookers. It’s always a special time at the farmstead, and the resulting paintings allow us and visitors to see this historic site through the artists’ perspectives.

As a group, the painters are encouraged to paint at a pre-selected site on a given day. Some choose to paint at Remick on an additional day. Over the course of this annual event, numerous artists have let us know that Remick is their preferred spot to paint during the retreat due to its variety of inspiring subject matter: scenery, architecture, pond, twisting paths, animals, birds, Mt. Chocorua…

Paintings done during the retreat will be on public display in The Hayford Barn at The Preserve, Thursday, April 23–Saturday, April 25. A portion of all sales will benefit the NH Food Bank’s Summer Nutrition Program, which provides food for kids during their summer break. (Remick was pleased to be able to provide a meal boxing space for this program in 2025.)
