En Plein Air, a French expression, means “In the open air” and is used to describe the act of painting outdoors. The Hudson Valley is rich in tradition and contemporary artists have taken up the mantle with new forms of expressing the painting of light and air in the outdoors. Please, submit only works not previously installed at a Trail Conference Art Exhibition within the last 12 months.
All two-dimensional works will be considered. The exhibition will be exhibited at the New York-New Jersey Trail Conference Headquarters, 600 Ramapo Valley Road, Mahwah, NJ. The Hudson Valley Plein Air exhibition will run June 6, 2019 – August 12, 2019.
