Plein Air Weekend: Quick Draw

Painters from across Michigan and the Midwest will converge on Glen Arbor August 6 and 7 for the Glen Arbor Arts Center’s 12^th Plein Air Weekend. This year the event will be highlighted by two outdoor painting competitions, and two exhibitions of original work. This year’s theme asks artists to “Capture Village Life: Images of Empire and Glen Arbor.”  The public is welcome to watch the artists in action.

The Plein Air Weekend opens August 6 with the Quick Draw. Artists will fan out around Glen Arbor and create in a designated two-hour period of time to work this year’s theme. Finished Quick Draw paintings will be on view and for sale at the Glen Arbor Town Hall from 5 – 6:30 pm.  Glen Arbor artist Hank Feeley will judge the paintings. There will be cash prizes. The event is free and open to the public.
