A collaborative effort, blending the craftsmanship of the Lakeside Wooden Boat Show and the artistic expression of the Plein Air Art Festival, will create one of Lakeside’s most unique weekends of the summer season from July 17-19.
This three-day event begins on Friday, July 17 when plein air artists arrive at Lakeside to paint landscapes until Sunday, July 19. The term “en plein air” means painting “in the open air.”
The festival will host more than 30 artists from across the Midwest. Guests are invited to watch them create their masterpieces.
Plein air artists will be painting scenes throughout the entire community, especially lakefront landscapes. Please join the Lakeside Chautauqua community in welcoming these talented artists to the grounds.
