NEW This Year!
Two participation categories for the artists: plein air and al fresco

The plein air category allows artists to paint any regional scene of their choice, and they may begin their painting any where in the vicinity. All artists will be on the Sculpture Trail by 10am to finish their piece live and in person. Al fresco is interpreted more broadly, where artists enjoy painting outside using reference photos of any subject. The “Best in Show” award winner will be picked from the plein air category while the al fresco category is not judged.
