The 2013 Plein Air Art Event is back for its tenth year! Once again, more than 40 artists will spend 3 days painting outdoors on Assateague and Chincoteague Islands – and you’re invited!

Choosing their own locations from around the islands, artists from 9 states will pursue their unique styles in the tradition of Plein Air: capturing their chosen scenes out of doors and before the light changes. This racing with the sun and clouds lends a sense of energy and excitement to the work and has long been a component of the Impressionist movement.
