This year, in addition to Alden Lane, we have a number of wineries that welcome painters on site.

You must call first! to make sure they know you are coming.

In addition to our Partner Locations there are a lot of great urban and rural locations to paint. We've collected some scenic spots for you.

Thanks to Tri-Valley Conservancy for their list of favorite places.

The perennial question - Where do you go when you gotta go?

Also, Sycamore Grove has toilets at both entrances.

Paint in public areas only unless permission has been obtained by the artist.

Artists cannot go on private properties without permission but can paint from bike/walk paths and turnouts.

• Livermore Street Fest will be along First Street on May 17 and May 18.
