Join us for a demo with PAE Alumni and prize-winning artist John Caggiano on July 18 from 2:30pm-4pm on the PAE stage in Headquarters. 

Brooklyn-born artist John Caggiano studied pre-engineering at Brooklyn Technical High School and earned his BA from Brooklyn College and his MFA from Pratt Institute, both with honors. He also took courses at The Brooklyn Museum of Art and the Studio and Forum of Stage Design in New York City.

He moved to Rockport, Massachusetts in 1980, attracted by the beauty and light of Cape Ann. He paints on location in many juried plein air events across the country and around the world. His style is “Impressionistic-realism” with bright and vibrant colors that bring his subjects to life. He sometimes uses a palette knife to create more texture and contrast with his brushstrokes. “Color is the essence of my painting. It creates excitement and harmony, whether it is bold and dynamic or soft and soothing.”

John has been juried into Plein Air Easton three times and most recently won the Life on the Farm award for his painting, "A Hundred and One in the Shade".

Free and open to the public.
