2025 Placerville Arts Association's Plein Air Art Competition

Event Procedure: After registering and having canvas(es) stamped, artists will receive map and rules for plein air locations within Greenstone Country Community. Artists may drive to other local areas of their own choice, but must return with their completed work to the Greenstone Country Barn no later than 3:30 PM.

Juror: Patris, owner of Patris Studio and Art Gallery in Sacramento. Website: https:/patrisstudiogallery.blogspot.com

Entry Fee: The initial entry fee to participate is $35.00. Up to three canvases will be stamped by PAA organizers the morning of the event. Only one finished piece may be submitted for judging, unless at the end of the painting time the artist chooses to submit another of the three stamped pieces to be judged for an additional $10.00 (cash or check). Entry fees are nonrefundable and will be used to cover expenses of the show and reception. The initial entry fee and application to the competition must be made at https:/www.entrythingy.com/d=placervillearts.com

Eligibility: Placerville Arts Association membership is not required. Open to all plein air artists working in two-dimensional media excluding photography and digital art. Work must be original, created during the event. All canvases or other painting surfaces must be stamped at morning registration.
Artwork is to be framed to qualify to be judged and presented for sale. PAA will provide tables for artists to use to frame their work, but artists are to provide their own frames and supplies for framing their pieces.
