Of This Earth: A Plein Air Exhibition
Of This Earth will be an exhibition dedicated to artwork created in plein air or ‘in the open air.’ The exhibition will highlight the various methods, as well as interpretations, utilized by artists to depict the American landscape. Although this creative pursuit stems from a time-honored practice established by the impressionists, the discipline continues to grow and innovate. The intent of this juried exhibition will be to showcase a wide range of approaches, as well as ideas that center around the human connection to the environment.
All two-dimensional mediums are accepted except for photography.
As a note, this exhibition will coincide with a plein air paint-out that will occur in downtown Kokomo on June 2nd. The work generated from the event will also have the opportunity to be included in the exhibition.
