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.
Artists interested in applying for the Plein Air Event should email Nancy West to get on our contact list. An email with a link to register will be sent on June 1st @ 1:00 P.M. Acceptance is on a first-come-first-served basis.
