plein air festivals

Plein air festivals celebrate the art of painting outdoors, where artists capture the landscape, people, and atmosphere directly from their surroundings. During these events, artists set up their easels in a specific location and create artwork in a limited time, often just a day or weekend. The finished pieces are usually displayed and often sold at the festival. These festivals foster community engagement, showcase local scenery, and promote appreciation of art. They attract both seasoned and emerging artists, providing an opportunity to share techniques, connect with others, and celebrate the creative process in an outdoor setting.
