The Art Guild of Orange Park has strived to be integral to the community. It has offered the public its passion, hearts and works since 1973.

The First Coast Plein Air Painters is a group of enthusiastic and dedicated plein air painters based in Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia. “Plein air” is defined as a style of painting produced out of doors in the natural light following the tradition of many artist from the 19th century. The group’s vision is to maintain a strong and active membership, seek out exhibition opportunities, build mutually beneficial relationships with other art and Plein Air groups and foster Plein Air painting on the First Coast.
