Plein Air Days at Hemlock Springs Center

Hemlock Springs Historic Crafts and Cultural Arts Center invites artists to Plein Air Days at the Center.

"En plein air" is a French expression meaning "in the open air" and is particularly used in the context of painting in the outdoors where natural light adds a dimension to art unavailable with artificial lighting.

Plein Air Days at Hemlock Springs Center are held on the fourth Sunday of every month from 1 to 5pm and upcoming dates are: July 27, August 4, September 28 and October 26.

There will be a Plein Air Gallery Show on November 1 to showcase the Plein Air works. Bring your easel, paints, canvasses, pastels or any other medium you choose to work with and enjoy an afternoon immersed in nature and let the living energy saturate your senses and inspire your artist's soul.

Be sure to wear sturdy shoes & long pants as the terrain is mountainous. Hemlock Springs Center is located on Mitcheltree Hollow Road, just off the Gardeau Road in Keating Summit, Pennsylvania.
