Annual Events

OWL's Paintfest

Paintfest is an annual event hosted by the Oneonta World of Learning (OWL) that celebrates creativity and community engagement through art and science. Paintfest invites participants of all ages to explore their artistic talents and enjoy a day filled with painting activities, workshops, and demonstrations. Local non-profits, families, and community members come together to express themselves and foster a love for the arts in a fun, collaborative atmosphere. The event not only promotes artistic expression but also supports OWL’s mission of enhancing early childhood development through creative play and learning experiences.
