Plein Air Hudson

“En Plein Air” is a French expression meaning “in the open air” and is particularly used to describe the act of painting outdoors.

You will see artists busily working throughout the community on August 17th, 18th and 19th. Feel free to visit, chat, and learn from the artists about their technique and process … maybe even give them some hints as to where to paint in our beautiful community.

On Monday, August 20th, the finished paintings will be hung in the Gallery. Please join us Monday evening to celebrate the artists and their work at the Opening Reception and Awards Ceremony from 6:30 to 8:30pm. This year’s Plein Air judge is Joshua Cunningham.

The evening will be filled with food, refreshments, music and artful conversation. You will even have an opportunity to vote and determine the “People’s Choice” Award. The artworks created will be available for purchase and on display at the Gallery through September 3rd.
