Exhibition: May 7 – 14, 2015 at the University of Redlands Alumni House
The Plein Air Artists of Riverside (PAAR), an Artist Group of the Riverside Art Museum (RAM), announces their 10th Annual Paint-Out, April 11-22, 2015. This year’s theme is “Loving the Landscape”. The public is invited to come out and watch participating artists turn a blank canvas into a magical work of art.
The celebration kicks off April 11 and 12 at the Riverside Art Museum with workshops held by world-class teachers: John Budicin, Brenda Swenson, Sally Strand, and Chuck McPherson. The public is invited to visit art supply and food vendors on-site, and to participate in creating an Art Fuzion Masterpiece, which will be auctioned off as a fundraiser for RAM and PAAR.
Artists continue the Paint-out in Redlands, April 13-20, where they will paint the many extraordinary historic sites en plein air with attention to light, color, and atmosphere. On Sunday, April 19, artists will participate in the exciting Quick Draw competition at the Olive Street Market from 9:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. Upon completion, the Quick Draw paintings will be judged by Alan Nowell and then available for immediate sale.
The culmination of these events is an exhibition at the University of Redlands, Alumni House, 1200 E. Colton Ave., Redlands, CA, 92373, from May 7-14. Entries will be judged by Steve Kell. Prizes, including cash, gift certificates, and art products will be awarded on Thursday, May 7, at the Alumni House. A collectors’ preview is from 5:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m., with the open-to-the-public reception, with award announcements, taking place from 6:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.
