Please join Johnson Creek Watershed Council for our Paint Out at Gresham Main City Park on Saturday, August 4 from 10am-12pm. (219 S Main St, Gresham). Pastel artist, Gary Michael, will demonstrate his technique. Bring your own supplies.

This is the last in a series of Paint Outs and Photo Workshops prior to the Johnson Creek Art Show in September at Reed College. Submissions to the Art Show are due by August 31. (forms HERE). We look forward to hearing from you soon if you plan to show your work. Your early communication, even without your artwork submitted, is appreciated so we know how many artists to anticipate.

Portland Art Museum, Oregon Invitational Plein Air Paint Out, Sat and Sunday, August 4 & 5

Where: In the Portland park blocks in front of the museum

When:

Sat, 4 Aug, 2012 6:00 AM - 9:00 PM
Sun, 5 Aug, 2012 12:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Celebrate the art of painting outdoors, en plein air, with the region’s leading plein air artists. Like their late 19th and early 20th century counterparts, contemporary plein air artists work on location to capture the atmosphere of the moment, including the ever-changing colors, light, and shadows. This event brings together dozens of artists to create new works and exhibit them in the Museum’s front yard by turning the South Park Blocks into a lively outdoor studio.

On Sunday, wander the Museum courtyard to meet the artists and see a selection of works made the day before. Take advantage of this opportunity and bring a work of art home with you.

The Oregon Invitational Plein Air weekend is sponsored by Gamblin Artists Colors and Oregon Coast Bank.

Hotel Partners are the Hotel Lućia, Hotel deluxe, the Governor Hotel, and the Westin Portland.
