Thank you for joining us at the Opus Plein Air Challenge!

Each year when summer rolls around, the Opus Community gets excited about taking our art supplies outside into the fresh, warm summer air, and gathering for the Opus Plein Air Challenge!

This year, the Opus Plein Air Challenge was held across each Opus location on July 1st. The day was full of sunlight and creativity outdoors. Each store had their unique spin on the Opus Plein Air Challenge, and each artist brought their unique approach to plein air artwork.

Scroll through this page to see photos taken at some of our events!

There are still ways to enjoy Plein Air season at Opus...

For those still looking to get outside and join their fellow artists, there are still a few more Plein Air Adventures left to join. Click here to view the list of Plein Air Adventures – be sure to sign up in advance too!
Take a moment to join our #OpusPleinAirChallenge Online Gallery. Post to Instagram using the hashtag to enter your artwork into the Community Gallery.

Artists from all walks of life joined us at the Opus Plein Air Challenge. Some with their trusty plein air supplies in hand, some ready to use the supplies available at the event.

We loved seeing the plethora of artwork created at each event. If you have any photos from Opus Plein Air Challenge, we would love to see them, whether pictures of art in progress, group photos, or photos of the event.
