Collectors' Preview Party

The final weekend of Plein Air Easton is truly an art lover's dream, kicking off with the exclusive Collectors' Preview Party! This premier event offers your very first opportunity to view and purchase the stunning collection of competition artwork before the general public.
The excitement begins at the Academy Art Museum (106 South Street). Upon arrival, guests will receive a $250 voucher for every ticket purchased. At 5:30 PM, the exhibition officially opens, allowing guests to view the incredible competition paintings in this wet paint exhibit. After taking in the main collection, head across the street to PAE Headquarters (40 S. Harrison Street) to explore even more spectacular works by your favorite juried artists. The exhibition runs until 7:30 PM, concluding with an awards ceremony where this year’s judge, Mary Morton will announce the winners and bestow thousands of dollars in prizes.

Your $250 ticket voucher is valid toward the purchase of any Plein Air Easton painting at either venue through the close of the show (July 19). Please note that any artwork purchased from the Competition Exhibit at the Academy Art Museum must remain on display until 4:00 PM on the final day of the festival. For details on how and when to pick up your new artwork, please speak with an Avalon staff member at the event.
