Hello Friends and Artists!
​
It’s been a little too long since we last checked in with you!
​
It’s been all about planning and launching the 2020 Virtual Plein Air Fest and some other critical duties here at CSP!
​
Artists: If you are not usually a Plein Air painter just jump in for the first time - get outside and sketch, and if you are an abstract artist, work outside for the week and let the sun, dirt, and sky influence you! Join us. All the details are on the Festival page.
​
Art lovers: Please register for our artist meet and greet and wet paint sale.
If you are shy and hate ZOOM - skip the meet and greet and come back here to our website on Nov 1st where we will have the festival art for sale!
​
The show runs the entire month of November.
​
Lastly, we want to thank the AZ Community Foundation - Cochise for a grant we have received, we are sincerely grateful for their support.
Thank you so much everyone! Stay positive, stay creative!
