"Let's share the love of plein air…

When posting any of your recent (2019-2020) plein air work to your Instagram include the hashtag #pleinairartistscolorado.

Instagram posts of plein air work made between Monday, March 30 - Sunday, April 12, 2020 that include this hashtag will be entered in a drawing for a $50 art supply gift certificate.

The more images you post with #pleinairartistscolorado, the better chance you have to win.  (You do not need to be a member of PAAC to be included in the drawing.)

Due to the Covid-19 virus and potential for exposure, Colorado is bringing on a new ordinance geared toward curtailing outdoor activities and we will be cancelling all PAAC weekly/regular paintouts until at least April 11.  

Be safe and paint from your backyard!

Get those paints moving and hope to see your beautiful work entered into the 24th Annual National Show....  

A big thank you to all of the participating artists in this years show and to all of those that helped out.  Keep an eye out for next years show announcement ....

Shipped paintings are arriving at the gallery and in just over a week, the hand deliveries will be coming in!  I hope you all can make it up to Grand Lake, Colorado for both the destination paintout and for the opening of the show!  Thanks to all of our artists/members who make PAAC a great organization!
