Plein Air & More June 24-26 Weekend Schedule
The tradition called “En Plein Aire” describes the action of the artist painting in the open air. The Cannon Beach Gallery Group has expanded on that idea and created “Plein Air & More” arts weekend. The weekend begins with a Friday Night opening reception where the public can come and “Meet and Greet” the artists from 5pm to 7pm at the Chamber Building. Each artist will have a piece of their work on display Friday evening. Light bites and wine will be served. On Saturday, the artists will be out and about creating various pieces of artwork—please see the artist location schedule below. Each gallery will hold artists receptions Saturday evening and on Sunday there will be a group gallery show at the Chamber from 11-4 with some of the newly created artwork displayed. All pieces displayed will be available for sale. Additionally there are various workshops being conducted throughout the week, please see our website, www.cbgallerygroup.com for complete details.
So take some time to wander our beautiful town, interact with all the artists, join the receptions and pick up a newly created piece or artwork for your home.

3rd Annual Plein-Air & More Event
Plein air is a term derived from the French expression “en plein air,” meaning “in the open air,” and specifically refers to the act of painting outdoors.
Cannon Beach’s popular “Plein Air and More” event has grown to three days this year and will include more than two dozen artists represented by Cannon Beach’s art galleries. They will be creating works of art on location throughout the town and on the beach. Many will work in the traditional method of plein air painting, while others will sculpt, and photograph in their own unique styles. Individual galleries will display the finished works and host receptions for the artists.
You’re invited to sit and watch, ask questions, or even pick up your own brushes and participate in a workshop with Michael Orwick, noted plein air painter, in the week leading up to the event
Below is a listing of each Gallery Group member and representative work from their participating artists for this event.
If you have specific questions about any of the artists, please contact the galleries directly.
