Excited to participate in the Adirondack Plein Air Festival this August! Until then, I'll be out getting the reps in!

We’re excited to announce the 40 artists selected for this year’s Adirondack Plein Air Festival, happening August 17–22 in Saranac Lake, NY!

These talented painters will capture the beauty of the Adirondacks all week long. Join us for the Meet the Artists reception at Hotel Saranac, Paint the VIC Day, Paint the Town Day, Silent Auction, Nocturne Contest, Quick Draw Competition, Preview Party, Huge Show & Sale, and more.

Award-winning artist Cynthia Rosen is our juror of awards. Cynthia will teach a workshop leading up to the festival (Aug 15 & 16) at the Paul Smith's College VIC, open to artists at every level!

To see a full schedule of events, register for the workshop, or purchase tickets to our preview party, visit saranaclakeartworks.org!

For your consideration:
If you have 3 minutes of spare time, please consider voting me for Best of the Mountains - Best Artist, and for the Adirondack Artists Guild for Best of the Mountains - Art Gallery.

Last year, earning Best Artist was a real achievement for me and has spurred me on to create bigger and better things. I appreciate your continued support
