 The lovely waterfront town of
Solomons, Maryland
is the setting for a new
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.
On Thursday, when the festival begins, each artist must
start with a blank canvas. This means that every work of art that
you see at the festival is created within a very short period of
time. On the fourth day of festival, all the works are hung and
offered for sale.
With an "Iron Artist" quality, Solomons-Paint the
Town will be an exciting four days as visitors witness and
experience the creative process - the sight, sound, and smell of the
artist's world. From the first brush stroke to the final flourish,
artists will display their skills for the assembled crowds and
compete for cash prizes.
 This exciting artistic spectacle is coupled with a wide array of
programs and activities for the public. Scattered around Solomons,
various attractions, restaurants, and businesses will present
programs, special discounts, exhibits, and more 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! 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 of Solomons-Paint the Town!
