Plein Air Easton: The Living Legend
Just announced: The prize money for this year's pre competition paint out on Tilghman Island has doubled to $1,000!! I attended a meeting with the wonderful Cassandra Vanhooser of Talbot Tourism and the dynamic duo of the Bay Hundred area, Mary Kellog of the Tilghman Island Waterman's Museum and community leader Doris Nielson where we strategized how to make this year's "Paint Tilghman Island" day even better than last year!! Exciting plans were made; more details to come....
P.S. The crab feast at Harrison's Chesapeake House is on!!! Thank you Capt. Buddy!!!
Hello fans of Plein Air Easton! My name is Jenn Wagner and I am the new Events Manager for the Avalon Foundation. I am a professional artist who has run a gallery and has an events planning background. I have shown my own work during Plein Air Easton for the past eight years, as well as co-ordinated artist demonstrations, created the Out of the Box Art Exhibit and Sale, and worked on the Plein Air steering committee. I love this event and am excited to take on this new role!
Thank you to all of the competition artists and everyone who supported the 2013 event!
THE BUZZ IS STILL BREWING
Plein Air–Easton! 2013 was off the charts! A month after artists departed Easton, they are still talking, blogging & posting about the event. Read about the experience from a first-hand perspective . . .
This is a behind the scenes interview with Bryan Russo from WAMU at Theo's restaurant in St. Michaels, Maryland. It is an interesting to hear Garin speak about his competition painting before it was even awarded. Please click the link below.
