En Plein Air on Water Street in Princeton
In 2015, over a dozen artist from all over Wisconsin and as fas as Minnesota, set up their easels all over town to capture the setting of Princeton’s historic downtown and it’s natural beauty along the river and beyond. “En Plein Air” is a French expression which means “in the open air” and is particularly used to describe the act of painting outdoors. Onlookers were able to watch works of art unfold almost before their eyes, as artists worked to complete their paintings in time for the reception where a group of jury’s selects their top 3 picks for cash awards! |
