Ultimate Guide 2015/www.pleinairmagazine.com 3

After the overwhelming success of our first guide for artists and collectors, we were encouraged to put together another helpful supplement that includes two di!erent sets of listings. One assembles the names and contact information for ORGANIZATIONS of plein air painters, by

state; and the other lists outdoor painting EVENTS, by state, with appropriate contact information. Organizations and events that bought display advertising were entitled to longer listings.

We worked hard to include every organization and event we could find, but we know we missed a few, especially those just getting started. If you are part of an organization or you know about an event we missed, please let us know directly or ask a representative of the group to send us information. We want to include everyone in the Guide who is spreading the joy of outdoor painting, whether they are small or large, new or well established.

Everyone on the PleinAir team is deeply involved in the community as participating artists, event organizers, appreciative collectors, and/or willing supporters, so we do our work out of a sense of passion and service. Our publisher, editors, sales managers, and support sta! are eager to help you succeed, and we are always available to lend a hand to your organizations and events. "at help might include recommending judges, o!ering prizes, suggesting promotions, sending issues, or publicizing your activities in the magazine (print and digital) and the PleinAir Today weekly e-newsletter.

As part of our passion and service, we o!er a series of bimonthly PleinAir Salon competitions to recognize some of the best artists and give them cash and international recognition (www.pleinairsalon.com). We also stage the annual Plein Air Convention & Expo, where artists, collectors, and suppliers can meet their friends and heroes face-to-face. "e 4th annual convention is schedule for April 13-17, 2015 in Monterey, California (www.pleinairconvention.com). Finally, we encourage artists who are joining our community by o!ering instruction through our expanding DVD program (www.streamlinevideo.com). It’s all available to help you enjoy outdoor painting.

Happy painting!

What Explains the Growth of Outdoor Painting?

One question we are often asked is why there is such great enthusiasm for painting outdoors. !at inquiry comes from collectors, who want to understand why so many of their friends are traveling to plein air festivals and returning home with freshly painted images of those locations. It is also posed by artists who are eager to know how they might join in the fun and accept the challenge of working directly from nature. Here are just a few of the explanations o"ered by those who are already active members of the growing community of plein air enthusiasts.

1. LOVE OF THE OUTDOORSMany of the artists and collectors profiled in PleinAir magazine indicate they’d had a lifelong love of hiking, camping, fishing, walking, biking, gardening, and other activities that allow them to exercise and enjoy the glory of nature, and they also enjoy creating art, or appreciate what others create. !e logical way to combine those interests is by becoming a plein air painter, or to follow artists who are professionals in the field. !e key to maximizing one’s enjoyment of these activities is to learn what equipment is appropriate, which techniques are e"ective, what groups are open

to new members, who teaches classes and workshops, where the events take place, and how to build a collection of paintings that relate to one’s interests. PleinAir magazine covers all those activities, six times a year, with both print and digital editions. !is special annual supplement is an indispensable tool to prepare for a new year of outdoor painting events.

2. PAINTINGS OF FAVORITE LOCATIONSAnother common thread that connects outdoor-painting enthusiasts is a desire to either paint or collect paintings of favorite locations. For example, people who love the open spaces and majestic mountains of the West seek out opportunities to pursue that, while those who have long associations with the South, the Northeast, the Midwest, or foreign locations go in search of paintings of the regions they’re so fond of. !e art world didn’t always recognize this motivation for painting and collecting. Museums and art magazines have been preoccupied with artwork that had meaningful content, but often made it di#cult for most people to understand or appreciate that content. !ere may have been good reasons to call a slab of rusting metal or a canvas covered in paint

drips a masterpiece, but those reasons eluded most people who visited museums and art galleries. Plein air painting celebrates the connections between painting and nature, between the general public and depictions of hometown scenes, and between skillfully executed artwork and discerning collectors. It is a positive, joyful activity that can be just as profound as any other form of artistic expression.

3. INTEREST IN PRESERVATION & CONSERVATIONSince the first Earth Day, on April 22, 1970, there has been greater recognition of the fact that we are all stewards of the environment and of the history of our communities. !at awareness influences plein air enthusiasts, and their e"orts as painters and collectors demonstrate their e"orts to be responsible and concerned citizens. !e artists paint as a way of calling attention to what might be lost to future generations, whether that be an aging barn, a wildlife habitat, or a sailing vessel, and collectors influence those artists by purchasing paintings that reflect their concerns and appreciations.

4. ENJOYING THE COMPANY OF OTHERSPlein air painting is obviously a more social activity than studio painting, and while it doesn’t replace or supersede the thoughtful and solitary activity of the studio, it o!ers artists and patrons a greater opportunity to share creative activities. "at’s why artists join art organizations, Facebook community pages, scheduled festivals, and educational workshops, and it’s why collectors watch artists at work, listen to panel discussions, and question awards jurors.

5. EXPLORING AN INTEREST IN PAINTINGA major festival organizer surveyed patrons who bought paintings during an annual event and discovered that many of those people harbor a desire to become artists — or, at least, to increase their understanding and appreciation of the work created during the festival. Outdoor painting events allow those curious folks to watch, ask questions, and show their support without buying a ticket, giving up an e-mail address, or filling out a questionnaire. One of the great things about plein air events is that they make artists, their paintings, and the creative process completely accessible to the general public.

Unlike many galleries and museums, these events are not set up to intimidate people or pre-qualify collectors. "ey are opportunities for people of all ages, income levels, and backgrounds to understand and appreciate the creative process.

6. SUPPORTING WORTHWHILE CAUSESA percentage of sales from many plein air events is given to nonprofit environmental groups, educational programs, art centers, community centers, or charitable foundations. By purchasing paintings, patrons help support their own communities and the worthwhile services provided to residents and visitors. Many artists who participate in these events find it easier to engage potential buyers in a conversation about the organizations benefiting from festivals. Once that conversation is underway, it becomes easier for observers to ask questions of the artists and for the painters to share information about their work.

7. HAVING FUNPerhaps the best reason for the growth of interest in plein air painting is that it is a proud and joyous celebration of art and communities. It’s a positive experience that brings attention to hometowns, regional scenery, seasonal changes, local industries, community groups, and talented artists. No wonder so many people are willing to volunteer to manage these events and so many artist are eager to participate.

Solomons Island offers the artist such diversity in painting matter. The historic fishing village is now a picturesque mix of work boats, pleasure boats, marinas, old fishermen’s cottages, rural farmland, and quaint architecture with a few shops scattered amongst historic waterfront buildings. Stand in one spot on Solomons Riverwalk and you can paint any of these things and more. But the best part is the hospitality! The artists rave about the events planned for them and the warm reception they receive from the town.

Each year, artists gather to take in the stunning beauty of its black basalt cliffs, ribbon-like waterfalls, and lush fir forests. In November 1986, Congress recognized the unique beauty of the Gorge when it made it the nation’s first National Scenic Area. During our exhibition, plein air painters create works of art, seeking inspiration in the great outdoors. The show begins with a paint-out and culminates in a month-long exhibition during the month of August at the Columbia Center for the Arts in Hood River, Oregon. Thirty-40 artists are selected by committee each year.
