3rd Annual Plein Air Convention & Expo

April 7-11, 2014

Monterey-Carmel at the Monterey Conference Center

We are thrilled to annouce the next convention will be in Monterey, California, April 7-11, 2014.

Artists loved the high caliber of the presenters, the supportive and vigorous mood of the programs, and the professionalism of the production at the last convention. Participants made it known they wanted to return to Monterey, with its abundance of painting opportunities and beautiful weather … and we agreed.

Everyone is now invited to sign up for next year's Plein Air Convention and Expo--early and while we still have room.

We have taken over the ENTIRE Portola Hotel at a special room rate, but those rooms will sell fast. You'll want to book this week through this link.




NEW for the 3rd Annual

Plein Air Convention & Expo



Due to high demand, we are adding a FULL-TIME TRACK for WATERCOLOR artists and a FULL-TIME TRACK for PASTEL artists. Each track will take place in separate rooms on the other side of the conference center.

We're also adding an ART SHOWCASE to show and sell your artwork.

And GALLERY owners and directors can attend GALLERY MEETINGS.
