No. This is meant to be a “plein air” event, meaning that the work is completed outdoors, on site.

The most notable American plein air artist was Winslow Homer, whose legacy helped bring this approach to the US.

No, we will hold the event rain or shine.

We notify local galleries and arts organizations. Send press releases to area publications. Post on various social media and arts-related sites. And finally use our contacts in the arts community to spread the news through word of mouth.

You are free to bring your own foods and refreshments, we will provide bottled water. There are also a number of establishments where you can buy lunch or snacks; ask us in the morning when you sign in.

We will take care of curating and hanging any exhibits. Artists will be responsible for providing any information they want included with the artwork: name, title, media, price, etc. Refer to the prospectus for details.

“Hanging ready” means that your artwork has been properly wired and is ready to hang without any additional adjustments from us. If you choose to use a frame, it should be appropriate for the piece, i.e. paper artwork should use a backer board, mat, and glass. Canvases or boards should use frames designed for those types of media. No “sawtooth” hangers, only wire should be used. See the prospectus for more details.

Yes! We actually encourage it. The artwork will be on display for several weeks and you can stop by anytime.

Everyone! This reception is a celebration of the artists and their creations, so bring your friends, family or clients.
