2025 Plein Air Festival Reception and Awards Ceremony

Please join us on Saturday, September 13th, for the closing reception, awards ceremony, and wet paint sale for the annual Chautauqua en Plein Air Festival. Attendees will have the chance to meet the artists, as well as view and/or purchase artworks painted at various locations throughout the county. Hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar will be offered.

The public “wet paint” art show and sale starts at 12 pm the same day, if guests wish to view the artwork beforehand. Winners of the festival, judged by Pittsburgh artist Ron Donoughe, will be announced during the closing reception. Artworks purchased during the wet paint sale will be marked and may be picked up during the following week.
