In Need of Accommodations?

The Paint Dexter Plein Air Festival is fortunate to be able to host artists from all-over the United States and Canada. On this page, we have compiled a list of nearby accommodations, from hotels to campgrounds to our Accommodation Form.

Every Festival, we work to connect patrons with participating artists. If you are an artist interested in being hosted by a Dexter-area resident, please visit the link below and complete the Artist Seeking Accommodation Form.

  1. Use the form below to sign up for our Artists Needing Accommodations List. In the past, we have been able to make accommodations for all artists, but that is not always guaranteed.
  2. Upon matching an artist and an accommodation, we will provide the artist the contact information for the person providing the accommodations for the artist to coordinate with.
