The Plein Air Easton Podcast chronicles the intrepid lives of the people who are making the modern plein air art movement.  It’s not just about art; It explores the stories of the artists, gallery owners, collectors, educators, and other players that have an interesting perspective on art in our world.  The Plein Air Easton Podcast is hosted by Tim Weigand (who also hosts Plein Air Easton’s live streaming television show Coffee/Cocktails & Conversations), Jess Bellis, and Marie Nuthall.

As Plein Air Easton turned the corner on its 15th year, we felt the need to express our gratitude for the hundreds of competition artists whose hard work has led to our success over the years.  Each year, we reflect on our events, listen to feedback and give careful consideration to how we can improve the festival and grow. As a result of this process and in celebration of our 15th year, we reached out to PAE alumni artists to help us create an even better experience for artists and collectors.
