10th Annual Plein Air Unleashed

April 28 - May 4

Fine Art Plein Air Artists from across the MidAtlantic are invited to spend the week in Middlesex and Lancaster Counties in Virginia painting our beautiful scenery “en plein air”. Patrons are able to see fine artists working in a variety of mediums, out in natural settings, striving to catch the light in their interpretations of the scenery. This en plein air method is most often associated with the famous impressionist painters like Monet, although it was practiced in many other art movements. At the beginning of the week, we provide a list of the public demos by the exhibiting artists so that local community artists can go out and see the artists at work and even paint out with them. The event culminates with a Friday night preview reception of the wet paintings created during the week. On Saturday of the event, exhibiting artists are on location in vicinity of the DCA building to paint, do demos, and greet patrons. The Plein Air Unleashed event, reception and exhibit are free to everyone to attend.

Typical Schedule for the 10th annual event (April 28th – May 3rd)

Monday – Thursday – artists painting on location throughout the region all day
Friday – artists painting on location throughout the region in the morning
