Plein Air Flemington
Quick Draw Event
Scheduled Oct. 17
“Come paint the town, whatever colors you like! Plein Air Flemington will be held on Oct. 17, rain or shine,” says Christine Auriemma, the event coordinator.
“Though it rained last year, the resulting art was phenomenal,” she says.
“This quick draw event, organized by ArtVenture Flemington, is open to all artists, not just members. All traditional 2-dimensional media are welcome.”
This year’s judge is Xochitl Barnes, an accomplished artist with many awards for her work. She is an experienced juror with formal training.
Cash prizes are $500 for first place, $250 for second place, and $150 for third place. Two honorable mention certificates will also be given.
Online registration is open until Oct. 17 at 12 noon. The fee is $20 for members and $25 for non-members. Day-of registration is $30 for members and $35 for non-members.
Check-in will be between 8 and 9 a.m. at the Hunterdon County Chamber of Commerce, 119 Main Street, Flemington. The back of the canvas or paper will be stamped at the time of check in. It must be blank, though a plain toned surface is also acceptable.
Artists may paint anywhere in Flemington or the surrounding area, from 9 a.m. to 12 noon.
Completed, framed paintings must be delivered to the Chamber by 12:30 p.m. for judging. See the prospectus for display requirements.
