PLEIN AIR PAINTERS CREATE LASTING MEMORIES OF
FORGOTTEN COAST IN GREAT PAINT-OUT MAY 7-17, 2010

Nationally recognized plein air artists have been selected to capture the allure of the Florida's Forgotten Coast with paint and canvas. Artists will be painting on the beach, across the marsh, beside the lakes and throughout the streets of waterfront towns from Mexico Beach, Windmark, Port St. Joe, Cape San Blas, Apalachicola, Eastpoint, St. George Island, Carrabelle, and inland at Wewahitchka. You are cordially invited to join us at this premier art exhibition and sale featuring on-location artists. Experience beauty through the eyes of America's finest plein air artists!

Plein air is all about capturing the light and the nuance of life in a natural outdoor setting.

Artists are invited to celebrate the Plein Air tradition by gathering on participate in the Quickdraw Event. The excitement begins with artists taking two hours beginning at 10 am.  At noon the sidewalk will be lined with easels displaying the fruits of the morning's work to be judged. Awards will be presented and art will be sold off the easels. There will also be music, shopping, and a fun art project for kids.

The event is presented by the Forgotten Coast Cultural Coalition. More information will be available soon.
