EASTON, MD — April 15, 2024 — Plein Air Easton, the renowned celebration of outdoor painting, is excited to announce the inauguration of its Hall of Fame Awards. Established in honor of Plein Air Easton's 20th anniversary, the Hall of Fame aims to recognize individuals, businesses, and non-profit organizations that have made exceptional contributions to the continued success and growth of Plein Air Easton.

The Hall of Fame especially seeks to recognize those who have played pivotal roles in the development, interests, and advancement of Plein Air Easton. While the festival owes its success to the dedication of countless individuals, businesses, and non-profits, the Hall of Fame aims to honor those whose impact has been particularly profound.

"The Inaugural Hall of Fame Awards is our way of expressing gratitude to those whose unwavering support has shaped Plein Air Easton into what it is today," said Marie Nuthall, Event Coordinator for Plein Air Easton. "We are excited to recognize the outstanding contributions of those who have significantly influenced the growth and success of our beloved event."

Nominations for the Hall of Fame were open to all this past May and were evaluated based on a set of criteria designed to highlight the nominee's lasting impact, leadership qualities, continual support, prestige brought to the event, outreach efforts, and visionary perspectives that foster growth and improvement. Nominees must also demonstrate a high level of integrity, ethics, and professionalism.

Inductees for the Hall of Fame will be honored at various events over the course of July 12-21. Please view our event guide for full event listings.
