Plein Air Demonstration at Wheeler Park!

What is Plein Air? It is painting or drawing outdoors! Flagstaff’s Open Space program is hosting a plein air event as part of the Festival of Science. We are encouraging artists of all abilities and ages to get outside and draw or paint in Flagstaff’s Open Spaces–Picture Canyon, McMillan Mesa, Observatory Mesa, and Schultz Creek trailhead–throughout the Festival of Science.

We will have particular demonstrations 9/17 4pm at McMillan Mesa, 9/18 10am-2pm at Wheeler Park (Science in the Park), and 9/25 10am at Picture Canyon. There will be easels and art supplies for you to use! We’re also partnering with the Arboretum so you can get free admission Wed-Fri 9/22-24 by showing your art supplies, and draw or paint there.

All artists are invited to submit their plein air artwork for display and sale for the First Friday Art Walk 10/1 at Webb Law Group, 224 E Birch Ave in downtown Flagstaff.
