Each year, the 2nd week of September brings more than 50 fine artists from the Mid-Atlantic and beyond to paint en plein air (French for painting outdoors) on Chincoteague and Assateague Islands. On Saturday evening (9/14), you can see what they've created at a show and sale that is free to the public. Everyone is welcome! Come early; pieces sell quickly! A portion of the artwork sales goes to help the CCA promote the arts on the island.

Plus, Quick Draw Contest, Thursday, September 12 - Open to the Public - Registration fee is $5.
Artists will be painting in and around Robert Reed Park from 1-3 pm. It's a great opportunity to watch how different artists interpret the same scenes. Paintings will be judged at 3 pm and after prizes are awarded, they will be available for sale until 4 pm. Artists who are not registered for the entire Plein Air event are welcome to participate by showing up at 12:30 pm.

Artists came from around the region came out to paint on location in Lewis Ginter Botanical gardens during National Public Gardens Week. This exhibition features the work created for the celebration. Please join us for a soft opening of this exhibit at the garden from 5:30 - 7 PM. Stay on to enjoy “Flowers After 5” in the gardens. See the works in this exhibition here. This exhibit will continue on display during garden hours through September 5th. For directions and more info, please visit www.lewisginter.org .
