Groups & partners

For the people who get painters outside.

Plein air societies, urban sketching chapters, art supply shops, festivals and publications already hold this community together. PleinScout is built to help you do it with less effort.

Plein air societies & sketch groups

  • Put your group's favorite spots on the map, with the notes that matter
  • Members RSVP, add it to their calendar, and post what they painted
  • Early access to organizer tools as they're built

Art supply shops

  • Host a paint-out from your shop and get it in front of local painters
  • Be the place painters stop on the way to the spot
  • Talk to us about field kits and gear

Festivals & competitions

  • Get your event dates and locations on the map
  • Help visiting painters scout the area before they arrive
  • Talk to us about contests and quick-draws inside the app

  • Feature spots from your workshops or articles
  • Share field-tested locations with your readers or students
  • Press kit and founder interviews on request

How we work with groups

Participation stays free.

Your members will never pay to join a public paint-out in PleinScout. We'd rather help you get more painters out the door. Tell us what your group needs and we'll build toward it.
