The Sylvania Community is proud to bring back a unique and creative artistic style and art practice for the second annual Plein Air Festival.
The term “Plein Air” is a French term which translates to “The Open Air” or out of doors. This concept is to bring the artist from inside a studio and into the outside world to experience painting directly from observing the landscape around them. This art practice is centuries old made famous by the French impressionists, the practice allows the artists to build a stranger bond with their art and chosen natural subject to create a beautiful piece and capture the light and shadow within their scene.
