Beauty and inspiration go hand-in-hand when artists come to the Colorado Rockies to paint the parks this summer on-location from Aug. 14 through 27, 2010. Plein Air Rockies 2010 is a festival of outdoor painting celebrating the inspiration from subjects like Rocky Mountain National Park, forests, river canyons, scenic highways, and/or people and places in Estes Park or cityscapes found in the various front range communities. This event will garner national attention, and opening day is the place to be if you are a savvy collector of fine art.
Starting with the annual “Prelude Show” in the CAC Fine Art Gallery on August 7, patrons can enjoy a preview of works by the Plein Air Rockies participating artists, while they are out in the field. Once the painting period ends Friday August 27, the exhibition and sale of the new works is held August 28 through October 3, at the Cultural Arts Council of Estes Park Fine Art Gallery in Estes Park, CO. In addition, the 2010 festival will include many other events including, nocturne paint outs, a children’s paint out, miniature show, and a day at a historical ranch or hotel.
"The 2010 festival will feature many outstanding artists placing Estes Park as a premier arts destination”, states Lynda Vogel, CAC executive director. "As with many of the fine arts events the CAC produces, our patrons anxiously await Opening Day. The Quick Draw and Auction should not be missed by those who have a passion for fine art. The glory and the majesty of Northern Colorado is forever captured on canvas, paper and board".
Come to paint, come to learn, come to share, and come to experience.............................
For first time artists it is an exhilarating experience. For others it is a chance to meet up with colleagues or to paint familiar vistas. The community of Estes Park is a proud host of this event, and all efforts are made to make each artist's stay a rewarding one.
The deadlines for entries is April 30, 2010. For more information, call the Cultural Arts Council of Estes Park at 970-586-9203, E-Mail: info@estesarts.com.
