Gasconade County Fall Plein Air scheduled Oct. 20-24 in Owensville

Posted

The third annual Gasconade County Fall Plein Air Event will take place Oct. 20-24 in Owensville.

The community will host up to 30 artists who will be capturing the beauty of southern Gasconade County in their paintings.

New this year is a Quick Paint Event which will be held from 2 to 6 p.m. Friday, Oct. 22, at White Mule Winery. Local amateur artists are encouraged to participate in this event which includes a $200 prize for the best painting and $50 for honorable mention. Registration is $10.  Scholarships are available to students in the Gasconade County R-2 School District.

Plein Air is a French expression meaning “in the open air” and refers to the act of painting outdoors with the artist’s subject in full view. Plein air artists capture the spirit and essence of a landscape or subject by incorporating natural light, color, and movement into their works.
