The Friends of Plein Air-Easton! is an active base of supporters and collectors who strive for the sustainability and success of the festival through their generous contributions to the Avalon Foundation. Plein Air-Easton! is not a single event or moment but a series of meaningful experiences that you can personally take part in. Friends have the opportunity to attend exclusive invitation only parties and be a part of a unique art experience unmatched by any other competition in the country. Friends of Plein Air will have the opportunity to meet competition artists, watch them paint, and have the opportunity to take home one of the first paintings of the festival and competition week.
If you are interested in helping further the work of the Avalon Foundation by joining the Friends of Plein Air you can contact the Plein Air-Easton! Information hotline 410-822-7297.
