This is our 11th year to host what has turned out to be North Georgia’s most popular plein air event. We hope you will consider joining us this year as painting outdoors brings us all together for a wonderful weekend of art, fellowship, and the enjoyment of the beautiful mountain area in Ellijay!
The Plein Air “Art in the Mountains” event is open to all plein air artists 18 years of age and older. All painting mediums are acceptable. Artists will be given a list of hosted locations and will paint on location over the three-day event, as well as during a Quick Paint competition. Each artist may submit up to three (3) original works of art done at those locations of which one of the three will be from the Quick Paint competition. These will be displayed and available for sale during the live auction on Sunday, May 17.
A Welcome Reception and Collector’s Preview will be hosted by Gilmer Arts on Friday evening, and artists will be allowed to bring one studio piece for sale for this event.
