During the weekend of September 12th-14th, 2025, Brush Creek Art Walk celebrated it's 14th Anniversary with a 3-day weekend of Outdoor Painting.  50 pre-registered artists participated in the weekend event with three $500 (sponsored) Quick Paint Events offering Purchase Awards.  

Click Here for locations and times for the 3 BCAW2025 Quick Paints for your understanding of 'what' our event provided.  The public was encouraged to come by and see artists at work and the results of their efforts, and they certainly did.

The resulting 80 BCAW2025 original painting submissions are for sale and on display at the Anita B. Gorman Conservation Discovery Center (4750 Troost) through the months of October-November. (purchased works available for pickup by arrangement through the month of November).

The remaining works will then move to the 1608 Locust Gallery (Lexitas Legal Services) and ArtsKC (106 Southwest Boulevard) in the Crossroads.

Getting these remaining works in front of the public and in a significant enough gallery space has been a struggle, but the works  will remain online and for sale virtually through the Buttonwood Art Space through 2026.

       ATTENTION: Our 2025 works are posted!! For Purchase!!

This year's 2025 14th Annual Event, was without a doubt, Kansas City's Premiere Outdoor Painting Competition this year. Our 50+ Pre-registered Artists provided exceptional works - far surpassing last year's efforts.  Make it a point to check back for the current works and get your purchases in before they are gone.

Our 2025 Awards Event on Tuesday, October 7th provided some amazing results.  We are posting the Awards from that evening (below).  Look to the works listed online and match the artist with their work and make purchases of those 2025 works through 2026.
