The 21st Annual Plein Air Easton

Plein Air Easton is the largest and most prestigious juried Plein Air painting competition in the United States. Artists from all over the U.S. and beyond participate in this week-long festival. Amateurs can also join in on the fun during the highly anticipated Quick Draw Competition. This is art as a spectator sport!
Head into the historic district on July 11, 2025 as galleries and shops host demos and receptions to celebrate the kick-off night! Live music is sure to be included, retail specials, meet and greet receptions, demos, and more. The Nocturne Paint-Out will follow afterward with artists painting into the night downtown!
Plein Air juried artists’ original works are exhibited throughout the week, competition awards are given, and paintings are sold, sometimes right off the easel! Highlights include the open-to-all Quick Draw Competition, demonstrations, workshops, exhibits, and lectures.
For those 18 years old and younger, there is a Next Generation Competition, exhibit, and sale.
