Following the European tradition of capturing the atmosphere of the outdoors, the region's finest plein air painters are invited to join the realms of the famous regionalist artists of the 1930s by painting outdoors in the scenic Sainte Genevieve area. Contemporary painters will find the same French colonial buildings, Victorian commercial structures, and extensive gardens in the downtown historic district that intrigued the Art Colony artists some 80 years ago. Contact Carolyn for more information on entering the plein Air Art Competition.
Vote for your favorite painting either Saturday night or Sunday until noon and see who won the $2,400 in total awards. The Saturday evening awards reception is from 6 - 9pm. The sale extends through Sunday at 2pm.
This event is sponsored by the Sainte Genevieve Art Guild.
