Art
in the Open
This
is an Annual
Plein Air
event which is
held in
Wexford on the
week
preceeding and
the week
following the
August Bank
Holiday
week-end. The
paintings are
completed at
specific sites
and are
exhibited at
the end of the
event.
The
2012
event
was very
successful
with well over
100 artists
registered for
the
week-end.
This year
there was in
addition a
number of
Plein Air
sessions on
the week
before and the
week after the
main event.
The
participants
came from all
parts of
Ireland and
also from the
UK, Holland
and the US.
There
was a
very good
representation
of members of
DPSC who
enjoyed the
experience.
The
completed work
was on
Exhibition in
Greenacres
Gallery.
It
appears
that this is
going to be
very
successful
annual event.
