The inaugural Paint Laurel Plein Air is part of the One Laurel, One Day community event held on May 21, 2022 in historic Laurel, Delaware (rain date May 22).
All artists working en plein air in oil, acrylic, pastel, and watercolors are invited to set-up their easels to capture the picturesque town and all its charms on a spring day.
This fun, informal painting event in the morning will be followed by a community celebration meal with participating artists. The event will culminate with an opportunity for artists and visitors to view and purchase the finished pieces during a “wet paint” art walk and sale. Artists wishing to get a head-start on selecting their scene are invited to a barbecue on Friday, May 20 from 6 to 8 p.m., which will also include walking tours of the town by knowledgeable, local guides.
Participating artists are asked to pay a $10 registration fee, which entitles them to take part in the temporary “wet paint” exhibit and sale as well as enjoy the provided meals. In addition, there will be a total of $800 in cash awards.
