Plein Air Painters of the Maritime Gallery
Exhibition and Sale
June 11 - September 8, 2013
Opening reception: June 15, 5:30-7:30 p.m.
For the 17th year in a row, invited artists will congregate at the Maritime Gallery at Mystic Seaport to paint the Museum grounds and environs. Following the tradition of the plein air painters of the 19th and early 20th centuries, artists can be found at their French easels on the grounds of Mystic Seaport capturing the shifting light along the Mystic River and at nearby coastal marshes and beaches. Come watch your favorite artists paint en plein air beginning Tuesday, June 11, and continuing through Saturday, June 15.
The gallery will host a public opening reception Saturday, June 15, from 5:30-7:30 p.m. Come meet the artists and get the first chance to see and purchase their work. Refreshments will be served.
