The 16th Annual Wayne Art Center Plein Air Festival kicks off on May 5, 2024, with the arrival of 32 juried, nationally recognized, and emerging artists who have ventured to Wayne, Pennsylvania to capture the exceptional beauty of the Delaware Valley. As one of the premier plein air events in the country, Wayne Art Center offers artists the unique opportunity to showcase over 300 works created during the festival in three spacious, light-filled, and state-of-the-art exhibition galleries. These impressive works, which represent a diverse range of styles and mediums, are on view and sale through June 22, 2024 (6 weeks). A full schedule of events, to include community paint-outs, artist demos, lectures and other programs will be presented during the span of the festival and exhibition to further advance awareness of the plein air movement.

On behalf of the community of Helper, UT, the KT Gallery, together with The Helper Workshops, is pleased to present Plein Air Helper, an art competition in Carbon County taking place this August in conjunction with the 30th Anniversary of the Helper Arts Festival!

Plein Air painting is simple in concept, yet deeply moving and complex in practice: for three days, artists will venture outside with their paint and brushes to interpret the inspiring landscape and architectural wonders of Carbon County. All of us at KT Gallery are thrilled to invite you to participate among many of Utah’s finest plein air painters. Whether you are a seasoned artist or have never painted a landscape before, we hope you will join us this August for Plein Air Helper!
