Farm to Forest Plein Air Festival
to
Alexandria Museum of Art 933 Second Street, Alexandria, Louisiana 71301
For four days in the middle of October, artists will scatter throughout the heart of Alexandria, capturing en plein air its stunning natural environs. For this year's Farm to Forest Plein Air Festival, hosted by the Alexandria Museum of Art, painters from all over the country are invited to participate in a series of arts-focused events interspersed with the most valuable gift of all: time and space to paint.
Additional events include gallery tours at the AMoA, a quick paint challenge and farm-to-table dinner at the museum, a workshop with artist juror John P. Lasater, IV, ArtWalk, and more. All juried artists' work from the week will be displayed at the Palette Party event on Sunday at 4 pm, when the winners will also be announced. All art sales will be split with a seventy percent commission going towards the artist and thirty percent going to the Alexandria Museum of Art.
Non-juried artists and the public are also invited to participate in certain events including the Quick Paint Challenge at Inglewood Farms on Thursday (included for juried artists; $20 for non-juried artists), the John P. Lasater workshop Saturday ($200), the plated dinner at the AMOA on Thursday ($30) and the Final Sale and Awards Ceremony on Sunday. farmtoforestpleinair.com.
