Become a Friend of Plein Air Easton
The Friends of Plein Air Easton are a group of active supporters who ensure that Plein Air Easton exists and thrives into the future. Plein Air Easton is not a single event or moment but a series of meaningful experiences where opportunities to engage, learn and explore the Eastern Shore's stunning geography, art and culture abound.
Friends have the opportunity to attend the exclusive Meet the Artists Dinner and be a part of a unique art experience reminiscent of gilded age paint outs on the great estates of that time. Attendees are encouraged to walk the grounds of the property and watch the 58 competing artists capture the moment on canvas . It is also an opportunity to take note of whose artwork to watch throughout the week. The day's work will then assembled for show & sale, followed by a lavish dinner under the stars shared by the competing artists and art patrons alike.
Stay tuned for the important announcement about the location of this year's Meet the Artists Dinner.
