SUMMARY:Plein Air Easton
DESCRIPTION:Save the date – the 17th Annual Plein Air Competition and Arts Festival will take place July 11-18\, 2021. \nPlein Air Easton is the largest and most prestigious juried plein air painting competition in the United States.  Celebrating its 17th year in 2021\, the competition is held in Easton\, Maryland each July.  Plein air painters produce art from life (as opposed to in the studio). Artists from all over the United States and beyond apply to this competition beginning December 1st of the previous year.  There will be 58 competing artists painting throughout Talbot County\, Maryland the week of July 11th through the 18th.  Many of the world’s most accomplished artists have Easton at the top of their wish list of competitions and we will continue to set the bar for excellence in the coming year. \nThe pandemic brought special challenges to the planning process. While many events were canceled or accessible only online\, Plein Air Easton rose to the challenge and modified our normally highly attended event to ensure the safety of our artists and guests. Normally PAE events are scheduled throughout the week\, in 2020 our events were scaled down to include one major event and a gallery exhibition hall open to everyone. Our roster of artists was also scaled down to include mostly those who were geographically close to Easton. For all 58 juried artists in 2020\, their competition spot was promised to them in 2021 regardless if they were choosing to participate in 2020’s events. \nQuick Facts for 2019: \n\nArt sales for last year’s event topped $411\,000 with 365 paintings sold in 2.5 days.\nApproximately 6\,000-8\,000 people participate in the festival throughout the week\nIn 2019 the Collectors’ Preview Party alone sold a painting every 45 seconds during a 90 minute period.\nPlein Air Easton’s Quick Draw is open to any artist with $10 and ambition.  Nearly 200 artists paint for 2 hours in downtown Easton and the event culminates in an outdoor exhibit and sale along South Harrison Street.\nGalleries and arts organizations program demos\, workshops\, exhibits and lectures as part of the event. Next year an exceptional line up of reknowned artists\, PAE alumni and esteemed professionals in the art world will be sharing their talents and knowledge during the week of July 12-19.\nThe weekend of July 18th and 19th will feature an Artisan’s Market that will showcase Delmarva artisans displaying many different types of arts from jewelry to pottery to metalworks and much more.\n\nPlein Air Easton is at the center of the modern plein air movement.  Easton is making history and the work produced here has importance beyond the daily joy of seeing original artwork in your home.  We invite you to experience the vibrancy and artistic excellence of Plein Air Easton and to be a part of the history being made here.  Please contact the Plein Air Easton Information Hotline at 410-822-7297 or info@pleinaireaston.com for more information about how you can participate and/or show your support.
