Bring your palette for a day of plein air painting

Tap your inner Millet as the Village of Friendship Heights invites local artists to take part in a plein air (open air) event on Saturday, June 22, from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. If you prefer to just observe, there will be artists with their easels and palettes painting all the great aspects of the neighborhood. Do not disturb. They will have only five hours to get everything complete. At two o’clock, artists have to return to the Village Center to hand in their paintings, which will be part of the Open Studio exhibition and art sale in July/August at the Village Center. Please see the Village News for more details. Prizes will be awarded to the top three paintings. To sign up, please click on the “Sign up for Programs!” button at the top of the page. There is no application fee, but registration is required and artists must check in at the Village Center by 9 a.m.
