Durward's Glen Retreat Center Fall Festival and Plein Air Painting Event
Durward’s Glen sponsors the Fall Festival each year, bringing art fans and artists together for sales and fun in the fall colors.
In 2016, the Glen is adding a Plein Air Painting Event.
Plein air is a term derived from the French phrase en plein air, which literally means 'in the open air,' and is particularly used to describe the act of painting outdoors, which is also called peinture sur le motif ("painting of the object(s) or what the eye actually sees"). Artists work to reproduce the actual visual conditions seen at the time of the painting. This contrasts with painting according to studio or academic rules, which creates a per-determined look.
Wisconsin is the largest state in the U.S. for Plein Air events.
All week long, participating artists will be painting images of the Glen’s grounds starting Monday, October 3, 2016. The public is welcome to come watch the artists’ work. On Friday, October 7, each participating artist will submit their best two pieces for judging. These pieces will then go on sale during the Fall Festival.
Artists interested in entering the Plein Air Painting Event will find the map, registration form, and event prospectus on Durward’s Glen’s website. Registration is $40 per artist. Housing is available on a first come first serve basis in the Log Lodge.
Art Vendor forms are now available on Durward’s Glen’s website www.durwardsglen.org
