Plein Air – Easton!
Plein Air – Easton! Is a BIG EVENT for artists and it is happening in Easton, MD, only about an hour away. “Plein air” means “open air” or outdoors and is a favorite way of painting for many artists today. This year 58 artists from all over America have come to Easton July 20-23, having previously been juried into the competition, and can paint anywhere in Talbot County during those 4 days.
The Collectors’ Preview Party is on Friday, July 23. The cost is $150, but that total amount is applied toward the purchase price of a painting. Each artist may submit 2 paintings, but when one is sold, another may replace it.
The Grand Prize Award is $5000, 2nd Place is $2000 and 3rd Place is $1000. There are 12 other awards, several in the $1-2000 range. For more information, visit http://www.pleinaireaston.com .
