Plein Air Paint Out
10:00 AM
Hockaday Museum of Art
Description:
The Hockaday Museum of Art continues its celebration of the timeless legacy of painting in Glacier National Park by holding its annual Plein Air Paint Out event June 17-19 in the Park. Participating artists are given the freedom to choose their painting location anywhere within the boundaries of Glacier. During the three days, artists will create as many paintings as they can-- rain, shine, or snow-- with those works being sold to benefit the Museum. Entitled Plein Air Glacier - Exploring Glacier's Timeless Legacy, the event is in its eighth year and has become a favorite of art lovers seeking acquisition of original works featuring local landscapes and scenery.

Plein Air is a French expression which means “in the open air”, and is particularly used to describe the act of painting outdoors. The Hockaday's Plein Air Paint Out attracts top artistic talent and artists are juried into the event by a local panel of experts representing diverse art-related backgrounds.

The participating artists in the Hockaday's Plein Air Glacier - Exploring Glacier's Timeless Legacy event include: Rob Akey, Vernon Anderson, Nancy Dunlop Cawdrey, Marsha Davis, Claudia Davis, George Garrity, Margaret Graziano, Tabby Ivy, Allen Jimmerson, Mary Kelley, Thomas G. Lewis, Jeff Manion, Rob Marceau, Alan McNiel, Raette Meredith, Dave Mihalic, Wanda Mumm, Niles Nordquist, Nicholas Oberling, Mark Ogle, Tim Peterson, Rex Stewart, Janet Sullivan, Linda Tippetts, Jeff Troupe, Ron Ukrainetz, Jim Ulrich, Sally Vannoy, Rachel Warner and Kenneth Yarus.

New for 2015, the public is invited to watch as Plein Air paintings are created during an exclusive Red Jammer Bus Tour of Glacier National Park. By calling 755-5268 and making reservations at the Museum, interested art patrons may reserve their spot to watch select artists paint.

The Plein Air Glacier - Exploring Glacier's Timeless Legacy Party & Sale will be held outside the Museum in the Centennial Pavilion Tent on Saturday, June 20, from 5:00 to 8:00 PM. Admission to the event is free and guests may purchase art at fixed prices. Following the Party & Sale, works from the Plein Air Paint Out event will be placed on exhibit and remain for sale at the Hockaday June 25 through July 25.
