If You Enjoy the Eastern Shore, Don't Miss Local Color!

by Doris Glovier

July 17th - 19th at The Tidewater Inn - Downtown Easton, MD

If you are coming to Plein Air Easton this year, you mustn't miss the annual Local Color Art Show & Sale! Held in conjunction with Plein Air Easton, this show offers a delightful opportunity to browse and purchase art created exclusively by working artists from around the Eastern Shore. Did you know that Plein Air Easton's first and second place winners are always invited to judge and jury this annual art show? This year's show will be judged by John Brandon Sills, Plein Air Easton’s 2014 Grand Prize winner. Local Color is juried this year by Tim Bell, the 2014 Plein Air Easton second place winner.  The two Plein Air Easton favorites will offer the first two of five free painting demonstrations sponsored by The Working Artists Forum. Demo & Show schedule is included in this blog post. During the show, a number of Local Color artists, painting en plein air, will be out on the streets around the Tidewater Inn. Proceeds from Local Color help to fund The Working Artists Forum's educational program for art classes in local schools.
