Picture
The Beloit Art Center Plein Air group starts this spring. The purpose of the group is to get together at a scheduled location, have fun, and paint what we see. We have no restrictions as to how anyone paints, and all who are interested are welcome. We have a "Ridiculous Paint Brush Award" that will go to the artist that displays the most interesting creativity each session. See our scheduled locations below, which will be open painting sessions with painters from other Plein air groups invited to join us. We collect no fees, and provide no materials. All are welcome to enter any Plein Air session as they choose. You will have the opportunity to show your work in the Bell Gallery at the Beloit Art Center. Any questions can be directed to John Hines, jhines6777@yahoo.com
