Plein Air League

The Plein Air League is a vibrant community of artists who love to create art in the open air, capturing the essence of the environment in their art.  Paint-outs are scheduled throughout the year, allowing artists to capture the changing seasons and landscapes.  While there is no instruction, the group facilitates a supportive and optional "critique" at the end of the session which helps everyone grow.

All levels of artists and all types of media are welcome.  To join our group please email the Plein Air League Chair Jean Hearst.
