Calendar Meeting List

Watch some of the top PleinAir artists from across the country paint all week around San Angelo and on private ranches in the area! Noted as one of the top plein air competitions in the U.S., EnPleinAirTEXAS has an exciting week of activities and more than $30,000 in prize money for the winning artists. “En plein air” is the French term for painting outdoors in the open air.

In 1921, artists and teachers gathered on the South Concho River near Christoval to paint at the Texas Artist Camp, which became one of the best-known organizations of its kind in the Southwest.
