 The lovely waterfront town of
Solomons, Maryland
is the setting for our
plein air
festival! If you’ve never experienced an event of this kind,
consider visiting the picturesque Solomons community for a weekend
of art and entertainment. Plein air painting is painting that takes
place outdoors, but what makes Solomons-Paint the Town truly
exciting is that the event is a competition for the participating
artists.
Solomons-Paint the
Town will give plein air artists the opportunity to enjoy their art
form and share their creativity with the public. To the viewer, this
art form can be very exciting because it invites you into the
creative process, the sight, sound, and even smell of the artist’s
world.
 Visitors
of all ages are invited to observe the entire process, from the
first brush stroke to the final flourish. And Solomons-Paint the
Town is a competition because every work of art is created during
the first three days of the festival with artists competing for
prizes. This exciting artistic spectacle is coupled with a wide
array of programs and activities offered at various locations
throughout the Solomons community. The
Quick Draw at the Calvert Marine
Museum and the
Artsy Activities at Annmarie Garden
are just a few examples. And of course, the many shops, restaurants,
and galleries of Solomons, will be open!
The highlight of
Solomons-Paint the Town will be the Awards Reception on Sunday, May
16 at 11:00am in the lovely Arts Building at Annmarie Garden. The
Exhibition & Sale of the artwork will begin on Sunday, May 16 and
continue through Sunday, May 23. All the plein air works that were
created during the prior three days of the festival will be on
exhibit and available for purchase through May 23. It is a wonderful
opportunity to purchase a work of art that you watched being
created. This creative and festive event, all hosted within the
lovely waterfront community of Solomons, Maryland, will delight
visitors of all ages. You won’t want to miss the creative drama and
fun at Solomons Paint the Town!
