Tilghman PAE Art Exhibit, Sale and Award
After a day of painting, artists will have the opportunity to exhibit their fresh paintings in small pop up exhibits right in the communities in which they were created. This affords patrons who do not wish to or are not able to travel to the Plein Air Easton Exhibition Hall the opportunity to view and purchase the artwork that was lovingly created right by their own homes. From 4-8pm, stop in Wylder Hotel to view the exhibit of art created in the Tilghman community that same day.
Also, due to the generosity of Plein Air Easton supporters, Hali & Scott Asplundh, a nightly $500 award will be given at each of the four designated exhibition locations (Easton, Oxford, Tilghman and CBMM). This means that each day participating artists have a one in 10-12 chance of winning $500. Each partnering organization has its own designated judge. The best painting produced from each region from each day (July 13-15) will be announced in-person at 5pm every night at each exhibition and will also stream on Plein Air Easton’s YouTube page and Facebook page.
