SAMA Ligonier to hold ‘paint out’ and art sale
The Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art at Ligonier Valley will host its annual Fall Plein Air Paint Out and Wet Sale this fall.
Between Thursday, Sept. 28 and Saturday, Sept. 30, more than a dozen artists will visit the Ligonier Valley. For three days, artists will paint a variety of fall scenes from local state forests, picturesque overlooks, and iconic attractions.
Following three days of painting, the museum will hold an exhibition “Wet Sale” on Sunday, Oct. 1 from 1 to 5 p.m. Open to the public free of charge, the wet sale offers an opportunity to make purchases of freshly painted works while chatting with the artists. SAMA will also retain works for view and purchase through Saturday, Oct. 14.
Artists who are interested in participating in the paint out can contact ligonier@sama-art.org or call 724-238-6015. A $35 non-refundable registration fee is required for participating artists.
