Estes Valley Plein Air Sale and Exhibition: Aug. 30-Sept. 29 (last weekend) This is your last weekend to see the 6th Annual Estes Valley Plein Air (EVPA) event hosted by the Art Center of Estes. Juried and invited artists from all over the country participated in this year’s Plein Air Event and have created some truly incredible pieces. Over the course of a week, these artists painted “en plein air,” a French term meaning “in open air” capturing the stunning beauty that is the Estes Valley. A plein air event has been a part of Estes Park for over 30 years and the Art Center is honored to continue this tradition. This juried show features artists working in oil, watercolor, acrylic, pastel and gouache, and the paintings completed during EVPA are captivating.
