RAIN DATE Due to the chance of thunderstorms in New York City on Saturday, June 7, we will be rescheduling the Plein Air Festival to the Rain Date, Sunday, June 8.
En Plein Air [adjective] : the act of painting outdoors in the open air.
Join us for a full day of art-making in the beautiful and historic Madison Square Park. The park boasts 6.2 acres of meandering pathways and gardens in Manhattan’s only certified arboretum. Participants will have the opportunity to paint and draw in a number of locations throughout the park. Enjoy the company of fellow artists and draw inspiration from the blooming landscape and surrounding landmark architecture in this bustling yet tranquil corner of New York City. We welcome artists of all experience levels to attend this free event.
We encourage attendees to support the event by purchasing our New York City Plein Art Festival tote bag This branded tote will be filled with supplies from our material sponsors and can be picked up upon check in on the day of the event.
