CALL FOR PLEIN AIR PAINTERS The Teaching Studios of Art will host their 5th Annual Plein Air Competition at Sagamore Hill Historic Site in Oyster Bay on September 23 & 24. At this event, 25 selected artists will compete for a $1,000 grand prize and various other prizes. "Plein Air," meaning "open (in full) air," is a specific type of landscape painting that is done entirely on-site, in the great outdoors. While very popular on the West Coast, there are very few Plein Air competitions on the East Coast. The event will culminate in an exhibition at the Koenig Center of the Oyster Bay Historical Society, curated by Juror Mario Robinson, a nationally famous artist. The show will feature the work of 25 selected artists, completed over the two days of the competition. This competition is open to public viewing and will also feature live plein air painting demonstrations from juror Mario Robinson. All of the work is for sale, with a portion of the sales going to benefit the Oyster Bay Historical Society. Entry deadline is August 29.
