Pike Road Arts Council

an ENHANCE initiative committee

About the Arts Council 

The Pike Road Arts Council is one of several volunteer-led committees created through the ENHANCE initiative. The Arts Council engages citizens of the Town of Pike Road who have unique gifts in the fine arts and encourages the utilization of those gifts to bring a greater overall appreciation of the arts to the community. The Arts Council organizes and presents an assortment of arts-related events throughout the year, engaging local artists of all disciplines, from traditional painters to storytellers, crafters, and beyond. If you are interested in contributing to the Arts Council, please contact Arts Council Coordinator Patty Payne by emailing patty@pikeroad.us.​

We are excited to invite you to visit the new home for the arts in the Town of Pike Road: The Pike Road Arts Center, home to the Water House Gallery, studio space, and a variety of arts-related activities.

The Annual Pike Road Plein Air Paint Out has become a cherished tradition in our community, celebrating its 14th year in 2025. This event began as a small gathering of local artists and has grown to attract talent from across the River Region and beyond. Each year, artists come together to capture the unique beauty of Pike Road's landscapes, working outdoors to create stunning pieces that reflect the ever-changing light and colors of our surroundings. The event not only showcases the incredible artistic talent in our area but also fosters a sense of community and appreciation for the natural beauty that defines Pike Road. Over the years, the Plein Air Paint Out has evolved to include various activities, such as live painting demonstrations, art sales, and community engagement opportunities, making it a highlight of the town's cultural calendar. Join us in celebrating this vibrant tradition and witness the magic of plein air painting in action!
