Plein Air

    Plein Air events are held throughout the year at a variety of inspiring locations, offering artists the opportunity to paint outdoors while capturing the changing light, seasons, and atmosphere. These gatherings encourage observation, experimentation, and creative growth in a relaxed, supportive setting. Open to artists of all experience levels, AWC Plein Air events provide a welcoming way to connect with fellow artists, explore new locations, and enjoy the shared experience of painting on location.
