Charter

 

o    To encourage the practice and development of plein aire painting in the Central Kentucky area. To promote camaraderie among artists.

o    To initiate and support shows and sales by members who do plein aire painting.

o    To obtain, develop and share expertise in plein aire painting for all members.

o    To provide opportunities for members to paint, socialize and publicize their skills and works.

How We Work

 

o    Scheduled paint-outs, shows and other activities are shown on the Calendar.

 

o    Members telephone or email one another and arrange painting trips. It is expected that most trips will take place during the week. The email mailing list is maintained by the contact person (see below).

o    Each person who initiates the trip is responsible for informing others, limiting the number of persons participating, arranging travel, and leaving the site with zero impact (trash, etc.). Each location and trip should be listed on this website for the future benefit of others.

o    This web site maintains links helpful for plein aire painters. To add links, send the title and web site address to the contact person.

o    Art shows organized by the group are open to members only and are juried shows.
