Current Exhibition:
Plein Air Sketches
September 17 — November 1, 2026
Artist’s Reception: Sunday, September 27, 4 — 6 pm
The paintings in Plein Air Sketches were chosen to illustrate the quick, impromptu work that artists create in the field — works that capture the very essence of a scene. Generally, these sketches will be taken back to a studio where a larger, ‘final’ painting will be crafted, not in a spontaneous manner, but fully interpreted and realized in synch with the artist’s vision.
Participating artists:
