Plein Air BC

Plein Air BC is a website to bring the plein air artists of BC together for planned or impromptu paint outs. You can find Plein Air BC at www.pleinairbc.com.

"I couldn't find other artists to paint with in my area so I decided to create a website in hopes of helping me find others or groups of people to paint with." says Michael King, creator of the Plein Air BC website.

The intention is to provide an area online where artists in BC can come and see if there are any paint outs in their neighbourhood. If you have something to be listed, artists are encouraged to email all the details to Michael at
mrking@michaelking.ca and he will put it up within 24 hours.

The main event that kicked off the site was Alfonso Tejada's annual plein air paint out at Panorama Park in Deep Cove on March 21st. Even though it was overcast with light showers, it was a great day to get everyone out.

Events range from free and casual to paid and more structured. Free promotion is the guideline to the site.

Plein Air BC currently has numerous events listed on their site. Sign up for the mailing list for current updates on events in your community at www.pleinairbc.com.
