The competition artists for the 9th Annual Plein Air–Easton! Competition & Arts Festival have been announced. During this weeklong mega artfest, scores of painters descend on Easton and Talbot County, bringing with them an up-close-and-personal look at the excitement and spontaneity that surrounds art created en plein air (French for “in the open air”). The event has consistently boasted brisk art sales and Plein Air–Easton! continues to be the hottest art sale of the year in the Mid-Atlantic region and well beyond.

The entry jurist, who selects which artists will contend in the National Competition, is Peter Trippi. Mr. Trippi is editor of Fine Art Connoisseur, a bimonthly magazine that serves collectors of historical and contemporary representational painting, sculpture, drawings, and prints. He is also president of Projects in 19th-Century Art, Inc., the firm he established to pursue a range of research, writing, and curating opportunities.
