2008 SPRING CITY ARTS PLEIN AIR COMPETITION September 17th - 20th, 2008

A Plein Air painting event is scheduled for Historic Spring City, Utah. Spring City is located in Sanpete County, a scenic, pastoral rural landscape. This county is dotted with sheep, cattle, horse and agricultural farms as well as historic cities, and is known for its beautiful countryside of farmlands, majestic mountains and wonderful blue skies. Additionally, Spring City is a National Historic District, where dozens of 1800’s Pioneer homes and buildings are located in a rural city setting.

Artists may paint anywhere in Sanpete County; its cities, farms, mountains and streams and of course Spring City. Possible scenes include historic streets and structures, pastoral vistas, mountain and stream scenes, landscapes and agricultural subjects. Professional artists may turn in up to five completed, framed and ready-to-be-hung artworks. All traditional plein air painting mediums are acceptable, but work must be done “en plein air” without the assistance of photography.
