plein air festival

A plein air festival is an event where artists gather to create outdoor paintings in natural sunlight, capturing the essence of the landscape or scenery around them. Participants often work en plein air, a French term meaning "in the open air," which emphasizes painting directly from nature rather than studio work. These festivals typically feature workshops, demonstrations, and exhibitions, fostering community engagement and showcasing artists’ talent. They celebrate the immediacy and beauty of outdoor environments, encouraging artists to interpret and share the landscape’s fleeting qualities through their art.
