Goody bags for all entries. Dash plaques for the first 75 entries. Vehicles register on site for a fee of $10. Spectators are free.
Plein Air Art is open to any outdoor artist. The artists share the inspiration and camaraderie in working in an outdoor studio without boundaries or restrictions. The museum grounds offer a variety of subject matter which includes the beautiful gardens, its historic buildings and this year, cars. The public is invited to watch the artists work and ask about technique and media use. Artists must bring your own materials including easel and chair. The art program is free for artists and spectators.
