The Cultural Council of Palm Beach County will bring the outdoors indoors during its "Art Outside the Walls: En Plein Air"exhibition opening to the public April 11th, which will feature the work of Palm Beach County artists who have embraced the French expression "en plein air" or to paint in the open air.
The Council's main exhibition space will show off the spectacular results of a series of "paint-outs" the Council organized through the Plein Air Palm Beach artist group at 10 inspiring locations from Boca Raton to Jupiter."This exhibition provides an outstanding opportunity for visitors to bring nature home with them, as all the paintings on display at the Council are available for purchase, and purchasing locally produced art is a terrific, affordable way to collect," says Cultural Council President and CEO Rena Blades. "Guests to our exhibition will also certainly want to visit the locations they see in 'Plein Air.' While some of the featured spots are popular among locals and tourists, some are off the beaten path."Cultural Council Manager of Artist Services, Nichole M. Hickey says: "While artists have long painted outside in small groups, social media has made organizing 'plein air' painting groups more popular. We are thrilled to collaborate with the Plein Air Palm Beach artist group and its co-organizers Donna Walsh and Ralph Papa."Videos
