Plein Air @ Washington County, presented by Sequoia Gallery + Studios, Hillsboro 2015

This year Sequoia Gallery + Studios in Hillsboro is proud to carry on the plein air tradition created eight years ago by the Hillsboro Arts & Culture Council and the Hillsboro Parks & Recreation Department. Last year this successful event was known as Hillsboro Plein Air Plus. We are re-launching in 2015 as Plein Air @ Washington County, presented by Sequoia Gallery + Studios, Hillsboro.

 Dates for the event are October 1 - 4, 2015. Registration will be at Sequoia Gallery: early registration June 1 - Sep 15, late registration Sep 16 - Oct 1st.

 The event will include all of Washington County during its three painting days, focusing events in and near Hillsboro. Our judging, by Yer Za Vue, and prize awards will occur on Oct 3, followed by an all day Show & Sale on Oct 4 of all judged works. The venue for Oct 3-4 is Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club, Ghost Creek, in the upstairs event space. For updates and information please email pleinair.washingtoncounty2015@gmail.com.
