Plein
air painting is a French expression
for painting outdoors. These fresh, often rapid works can capture
the essence of a scene and the weather with a unique charm, unlike
the more careful studies produced in a studio. Come see artists
at work, capturing the scenic beauty of Marblehead on canvas and
paper.
On one day during the Festival, plein air artists will be strategically
located throughout downtown. You may happen upon them as you walk
around town, or you may want to consult the location chart
available at the King Hooper Mansion, home of the Marblehead Arts
Association. While there, you also may view the members’ Summer
Exhibit.
At day's end, the artists turn in their completed paintings to be
exhibited and judged in the downstairs galleries of the Hooper Mansion.
During the Festival, come and cast your vote for the People's Choice
Award!
During the Festival, the public is invited to a Reception
for the artists, and awards are presented. After the Festival, the
paintings will remain on exhibit at the Hooper Mansion, and some
will be available for purchase.
Location: Marblehead Arts Association, King Hooper
Mansion, 8 Hooper Street, Marblehead
