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 Buffalo Park/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.
