Finger Lakes Plein Air Competition and Festival

The Finger Lakes Plein Air Competition and Festival, now in its seventh year, offers opportunities for the community to learn more about the contemporary plein air painting movement in their own backyard. About 40 artists from across the country and Canada will set their easels up on roadsides and in parks and fields from June 5 to 9, to paint works that will be judged and sold. The event ends with a free public exhibition of the work on June 10 at Sonnenberg Gardens in Canandaigua.
